Q:

In a competitive examination, the average marks for the entire examination was 60 marks. If 20% of the applicants scored 85 marks and 25% scored 95 marks. What was the average marks of the remaining applicants in the examination ?

A) 60 B) 52
C) 45 D) 35
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 35

Explanation:

Let the total applicants be 100

 

Then, 20% got 85 marks

i.e 20 x 85 = 1700

 

and 25% got 95 marks

 i.e 25 x 95 = 2375

 

Now, the remaining applicants are 55 and let the average marks scored by them be x.

 

Therefore, 2375 + 1700 + 55x  =  60×100 

6000 - 4075 = 55x

55x=1925

x=35.

A) Rs. 800 B) Rs. 620

ATQ, 

P + I = PTR100 + P1280 = PTR100 + 11280 = P5 x 12100 + 116P10 = 1280P = 80 x 10 = 800

 

Hence, the amount he borrowed = P = Rs. 800.
