Study the given information carefully and answer the following questions.
Four students i.e. A, B, C and D appeared for written and practical
examinations of year 2019-20 The information given below is known:
Total Maximum Marks = Maximum marks of written Exam + Maximum marks of practical Exam
Total Maximum weighted score = Maximum marks in written exam `xx` weighted % + Maximum marks in practical exam `xx` weighted %
Weighted score = Marks obtained in written exam `xx` weighted % + Marks obtained in practical exam `xx` weighted %
Weighted percentage of written exam is 60% and that of practical exam is 40%.
Also, maximum marks of written exam is 80 and that of practical exam is 60
It is given that:
Total weighted score of A is 52 . Total weighted score of B is 52 and B obtained 55 marks in practical exam. C obtained 50 marks in practical exam. Marks obtained by D in written examination is 70 and D obtained 75% marks in practical exam.
If the average marks of A, B, C and D in the practical exam is 47.5 and both A and C scored equal marks in written exam, then what is the average weighted scores of C and D?

A

56

B

58

C

60

D

The correct Answer is:
To find the average weighted scores of students C and D, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate Marks of A in Practical Exam Given that the average marks of A, B, C, and D in the practical exam is 47.5, we can find the total marks obtained in the practical exam by all four students: \[ \text{Total marks in Practical Exam} = \text{Average} \times \text{Number of Students} = 47.5 \times 4 = 190 \] We know the marks obtained by B, C, and D: - B = 55 - C = 50 - D = 75% of 60 = 45 Now, we can find A's marks in the practical exam: \[ A + B + C + D = 190 \implies A + 55 + 50 + 45 = 190 \] \[ A + 150 = 190 \implies A = 190 - 150 = 40 \] ### Step 2: Calculate Marks of A in Written Exam We know that the total weighted score of A is 52. The formula for the weighted score is: \[ \text{Weighted Score} = \left(\text{Marks in Written Exam} \times 0.6\right) + \left(\text{Marks in Practical Exam} \times 0.4\right) \] Let \( Y \) be the marks obtained by A in the written exam. Then: \[ 52 = (Y \times 0.6) + (40 \times 0.4) \] \[ 52 = 0.6Y + 16 \] \[ 0.6Y = 52 - 16 = 36 \implies Y = \frac{36}{0.6} = 60 \] ### Step 3: Marks of C in Written Exam Since A and C scored equal marks in the written exam, C also scored 60 marks in the written exam. ### Step 4: Calculate Weighted Score of C Now we can calculate the weighted score of C: \[ \text{Weighted Score of C} = (60 \times 0.6) + (50 \times 0.4) \] \[ = 36 + 20 = 56 \] ### Step 5: Calculate Weighted Score of D Next, we calculate the weighted score of D. We know: - Marks in Written Exam = 70 - Marks in Practical Exam = 45 \[ \text{Weighted Score of D} = (70 \times 0.6) + (45 \times 0.4) \] \[ = 42 + 18 = 60 \] ### Step 6: Calculate Average Weighted Score of C and D Finally, we find the average of the weighted scores of C and D: \[ \text{Average Weighted Score} = \frac{\text{Weighted Score of C} + \text{Weighted Score of D}}{2} \] \[ = \frac{56 + 60}{2} = \frac{116}{2} = 58 \] ### Final Answer The average weighted scores of C and D is **58**. ---

To find the average weighted scores of students C and D, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate Marks of A in Practical Exam Given that the average marks of A, B, C, and D in the practical exam is 47.5, we can find the total marks obtained in the practical exam by all four students: \[ \text{Total marks in Practical Exam} = \text{Average} \times \text{Number of Students} = 47.5 \times 4 = 190 \] ...
