Q:

Three maths classes: A, B and C take an algebra test. The average score of class A is 83. The average score of class B is 76. The average score of class C is 85. The average score of class A and B is 79 and average score of class B and C is 81. What is the average score of classes A, B, C ?

A) 81 B) 78
C) 80.5 D) 81.5

Answer:   D) 81.5



Explanation:

Let the number of students in classes A, B and C be P, Q and R respectively.
Then, total score of A = 83P, total score of B = 76Q, total score of C = 85R.
Also given that,
(83P + 76Q) / (P + Q) = 79
=>4P = 3Q.
(76Q + 85R)/(Q + R) = 81
=>4R = 5Q,
=>Q = 4P/3 and R = 5P/3
Therefore, average score of A, B, C = ( 83P + 76Q + 85R ) / (P + Q + R) = 978/12 = 81.5
