Let the number of students in class A be = X1 + X2 + ...... + A1 ( where A1 = remaining students )
Now the remaining avg of the students be A1 / T = 60
A1 = 60T ( we are not sure on the number of students , assuming it as T ).
A = X1 + X2 + ...... + A1 ( First set of students + remaining students).
One third of A students avg is 60.
A / 3 = 69
=> A = 207.
Now X1 + X2 + ...... + A1 = 207.
X1 + X2 + ...... = 207 - 60T.
We are not sure about the number of students in the remaining class + whole class and without that we can't solve this.
IMO E is correct option.
OA please...will correct if I missed anything.
let n=total students in class
total points for 1/3 class=69n/3=23n
total points for 2/3 class=60*2n/3=40n
total points for whole class=23n+40n=63n
63n total class points/n total students=63 grade point average for total class
total points for 1/3 class=69n/3=23n
total points for 2/3 class=60*2n/3=40n
total points for whole class=23n+40n=63n
63n total class points/n total students=63 grade point average for total class
