Question : In a class, there are 54 students. $33 \frac{1}{3}$% of the number of students are boys and the rest are girls. The average score in mathematics of boys is 50% more than that of girls. If the average score of all the students is 70, then what is the average score of the boys?
Option 1: 81
Option 2: 84
Option 3: 87
Option 4: 90
Correct Answer: 90
Solution : A class of 54 students. Average score in mathematics of boys = 50% more than that of girls Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{No. of values}}$ Total number of students = 54 $33\frac{1}{3}$% = \(\frac{100}{3}\)%= $\frac{1}{3}$ Number of boys = 54 × $\frac{1}{3}$= 18 Number of girls = 54 – 18 = 36 Let the average score of girls = $2x$ So, the average score of boys $=2x × (\frac{3}{2}) = 3x$ According to the question, $18 × 3x + 36 × 2x = 54 × 70$ ⇒ $54x + 72x = 3780$ ⇒ $126x = 3780$ ⇒ $x = \frac{3780}{126} = 30$ Average score of boys = 30 × 3 = 90 Hence, the correct answer is 90.
