Correct Answer: 69
Solution : Total number of students = 40 + 52 = 92 ⇒ $75 = \frac{\text{(Sum of scores of all students)}}{92}$ ⇒ Total score in mathematics = 75 × 92 = 6900 Now, Let the average score of section B students be $x$ ⇒ Average score of section A student = $x + \frac{20}{100} × x$ = $\frac{6x}{5}$ Now, ⇒ $x = \frac{\text{Sum of score of mathematics in section B}}{52}$ The sum of scores of section B in mathematics = $52x$ Now, ⇒ $\frac{6x}{5} = \frac{\text{Sum of score of mathematics in section A}}{40}$ Sum of score of mathematics in section A = $\frac{6x}{5} × 40=48x$ Now, Total score = Sum of the scores of mathematics in section A + Sum of the scores of section B in mathematics ⇒ $6900 = 48x + 52x$ ⇒ $100x = 6900$ ⇒ $x = 69$ Hence, the correct answer is 69.
