एक परीक्षा में 64 लड़कों और एक निश्चित संख्या में लड़कियों द्वारा प्राप्त औसत का 59.15 है, जबकि लड़कों द्वारा प्राप्त औसत अंक 55.25 है।यदि लड़कियों का औसत अंक 68.75 है,तो कितनी लड़कियों ने परीक्षा दी?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Correct Answer:
26
Let number of girls = $ x $
$ 64 \times 55.25 = 3536 $
$ x \times 68.75 = 68.75x $
$ 59.15(64 + x) = 3785.6 + 59.15x $
Now the equation:
$ 3536 + 68.75x = 3785.6 + 59.15x $
$ (68.75 - 59.15)x = 3785.6 - 3536 $
$ 9.6x = 249.6 $
$ x = \frac{249.6}{9.6} = 26 $
Answer = 26
