  • Question
  • The mean weight of 150 students in class is 60 kg. The mean weight of boys is 70 kg and that of girls is 55 kg. What is the number of boys in the class?


  • Options
  • A. 50
  • B. 60
  • C. 75
  • D. 100

  • Correct Answer
  • 50 

    Explanation

    Given that total number of students = 150 = ( n1+ n2) and
    Mean weight of 150 students = 60 kg.
    The mean weight of boys a1= 70 kg and
    The mean weight of girls a2 = 55 kg
    Let n1 and n2 be the number of boys and girl, respectively.
    ? n1 + n2 = 150 ...(i)
    11 n1 + 11 n2 = 1650 ...(ii)
    Average weight = (n1 a1 + n2 a2) / (n1 + n2)
    ? 60 = (70 n1 + 55n2)/150
    ? 70 n1 + 55n2 = 9000
    ? 14n1 + 11n2 =1800 ...(iii)
    On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (iii), we get
    3n1 = 150 ? n1 = 50
    Hence, required number of boys is 50.
