Correct Answer: 41.66


Solution : Number of students = 80
Average marks of all students = 50
Number of students failed = 30
Average marks of passed students = 55
Total marks = 80 × 50 = 4000
Number of passed students = Total students – number of failed students = 80 – 30 = 50
Total marks of passed students = 50 × 55 = 2750
Total marks of failed students = Total marks – failed student marks = 4000 – 2750 = 1250
Average marks of failed students = $\frac{1250}{30}$ = 41.66
Hence, the correct answer is 41.66.
