Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Number of students = 132
Average marks of all students = 50
Average marks of passed students = 55
Average marks of failed students = 35
Formula:
Average marks = Total marks / Number of students
Solution:
By using the allegation method.
| Passed | Failed | |
| 55 | 35 | |
| 50 | ||
| 15 | 5 |
So the ratio is 15 : 5 or 3 : 1
The total marks of passed students = 3 × 55
The total marks of failed students = 35 × 1
The ratio is
3 × 55 : 35 × 1
33 : 7
Therefore, the respective ratio of the total marks of passed students and the total marks of failed students is 33 : 7
