A 40
B 60
C 90
D 120

Answer: Option [A]

The total marks of 90 students = 90 x 144 = 12960

According to the question, the marks of one of the students was 148 whereas, his actual marks was 156

So, the total marks = 12960 - 148 + 156

= 12968

So the average = 12968/90

D 15

Answer: Option [A]

The total age of first 25 girls is 25 x 13 = 325 year

The total age of second 25 girls is 25 x 16 = 400 year

The total age of first 50 girls = 725 year

The number of girls remained to calculate 30

So the total age of these 30 girls is (1070-725) year = 270 year

270/30 = 9 year
