Given : Number of Boys= 12, Number of girls = 18
\n" ); document.write( " Average Marks of class = 90, Average marks of boys = 87\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As we know that Average = (Sum of observations)/(Number of observations)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, (Total Marks)/(Total Students) = Avg marks of class
\n" ); document.write( " (Total Marks)/(12 + 18) = 90
\n" ); document.write( " Total Marks = 90*30 = 2700\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, (Total Marks of boys)/(Number of Boys)= 87
\n" ); document.write( " (Total Marks of boys)/12= 87
\n" ); document.write( " Total Marks of Boys= 87*12
\n" ); document.write( "therefore, Marks of Boys = 1044
\n" ); document.write( "Now we know , Total Marks of class = Total Marks of Boys + Total Marks of Girls
\n" ); document.write( "Total marks of girls = Total Marks of class - Total Marks of Boys
\n" ); document.write( "Total marks of girls = 2700-1044 = 1656\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now Average of girls marks = (Total marks of girls)/(Number of girls)
\n" ); document.write( " = 1656/ 18
\n" ); document.write( " = 92
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is 92.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
