b) 150/9
c) 130/9
d) 190/9

Answer Answer d) 190/9
Case 1: when boys> girls
Total student =35
Let no of boys be x then girls will be 35-x.
As given x = 35-x +5.
Then x = 20. Let total weight of boys and girls be A and B respectively.
Then A/15 + 5 = B/20, also A = 50 + B.
On solving we get a negative value which is incorrect, so this assumption is wrong.

Case 2: when boys< girls
Total student =35
Let no of girls be x then boys will be 35-x.
As given x = 35-x +5.
Then x = 20. Let total weight of boys and girls be A and B respectively.
Then A/20 – 5 = B/15, also B = 50 + A.
On solving we get average marks as 190/9
