    In a primary school, the average weight of male students is 65.9 kg and the average weight of female students is 57 kg. If the average weight of all the students (both male and female) is 60.3 kg and the number of male students in the school is 66, then what is the number of female students in the school?                              [IBPS(SO)2012]

    A)  154

    B)  162

    C)  168

    D)  180

    E)  112

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    [e] Average weight of male students = 65.9 kg.
    Average weight of female students = 57.0 kg.
    Average weight of total students = 60.3 kg.
    Let the total number of total students be x.
    Then, \[\frac{65.9\times 66+(x-66)\times 57}{x}=60.3\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[65.9\times 66+57x-57\times 66=60.3x\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[(65.9-57)\times 66=3.3x\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[8.9\times 66=3.3x\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[178=x\]
    \[\therefore \] Number of female students \[=178-66=112\]
