Thirty six students of class IX contributed on an average Rs 42 towards flood relief fund whereas some students of class X contributed on an average Rs 54.50. If the overall average contribution per student remained Rs 47, then how many students of class X contributed ?

Solution

Correct Option: 3

Let xx = students of class X. Total contribution: 36×42+x×54.50=(36+x)×4736\times 42 + x\times 54.50 = (36+x)\times 47. So 1512+54.5x=1692+47x1512+54.5x = 1692+47x. Then 7.5x=1807.5x=180, giving x=24x=24.
