Q 10. Candidates of four schools appear in a mathematics test. The data were as follows :
Schools | No. Of Candidates | Average Score |
I II III IV | 60 48 Not Available 40 | 75 80 55 50 |
If the average score of the candidates of all four schools is 66 , Find the number of candidates that appeared from school III .
SOLUTION :
Schools | No. Of Candidates | Average Score |
I II III IV | 60 48 x 40 | 75 80 55 50 |
Given the average score of all schools = 66
⇒ 10340+55x = 66x+9768
⇒ 10340−9768 = 66x−55x
⇒ 11x = 572
⇒ x = 572/11 = 52
∴ No. of candidates appeared from school III = 52.

30 50 70 90 | 17
f1 32 f2 19 | 170
30f1 1600 70f2 1710 |
N=120 | ∑fx = 3480+30f1+70f2 |
It is given that
Mean = 50
⇒ 3480+30f1+70f2 = 50×120
⇒ 30f1+70f2 = 6000−3480
⇒10(3f1+7f2) = 10(252)
⇒3f1+7f2 = 252⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(1) [∵Divideby10]
And N = 20
⇒17+f1+32+f2+19 = 120
⇒ 68+f1+f2 = 120
⇒ f1+f2 = 120−68
⇒ f1+f2 = 52
Multiply with 3 on both sides
⇒3f1+3f2 = 156⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅(2)
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1)
⇒3f1+7f2−3f1−3f2 = 252−156
⇒ 4f2=96
⇒ f2 = 96/4 = 24
Put the value of f2 in equation (1)
⇒ 3f1+7×24 = 252
⇒ 3f1 = 252−168
⇒ f1 = 84/3 = 28
⇒ f1 = 28
