  • The average mark of 40 students is 45.
Question 1:
The average mark of 40 students is 45. But after checking, marks of two students were corrected. After correction, if a student got 45 marks more and the other student got 15 marks less,
then what will be the adjusted average?
A. 56.47
B. 65.75
C. 45.75
Feedback Given, Number of students = 40
Average marks of 40 students = 45
=> Total marks of 40 students = Average marks × Number of students
=> 45 × 40 = 1800
Given, After correcting 2 students marks, one student got 45 more marks and other student got 15 less marks
=> After adjustment, Total marks of 40 students = 1800 + 45 - 15= 1830
Now, the required Adjusted Average marks= Total marks After adjustment / Number of students
= 1830 / 40
=> 45.75
Therefore, the Adjusted Average marks = 45.75
D. 40.75
