the mean marks for a french test in a class of 30 boys and 20 girls are 60 and 70 respectively. find the mean mark for the whole class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the number of boys be x and number of girls be y.

\begin{gathered}\\Mean \: marks \: of \: boys \\ = \frac{Total \: marks \: of \: boys }{Total \: number \: of \: boys} \\ \\ 70 = \frac{Total \: marks \: of \: boys}{ x } \\ \\ Total \: marks \: of \: boys = 70x \: \: (1) \\ Mean \: marks \: of \: boys \\ = \frac{Total \: marks \: of \: girls }{Total \: number \: of \: girls} \\ \\ 73 = \frac{Total \: marks \: of \: girls}{y} \\ \\ Total \: marks \: of \: girls = 73y \: \: (2) \\ Mean \: marks \: of \: entire \: students \\ = \frac{Total \: marks \: of \:students}{Total \: number \: of \: students } \\ \\ Mean \: marks \: of \: entire \: students \\ = \frac{Marks \: of \:boys + Marks \: of \: girls}{ Number \: of \: boys + Number \: of \: girls } \\ \\ from \: eq \: (1) \: and \: (2) \\ \\ 71 = \frac{70x + 73y}{x + y} \\ \\ 71(x + y) = 70x + 73y \\ \\ 71x + 71y = 70x + 73y \\ \\ 71x - 70x = 73y - 71y \\ \\ x = 2y \\ \\ \frac{x}{y} = \frac{2}{1} \\ \\ \frac{Number \: of \: boys}{Number \: of \: girls} = \frac{2}{1} \\ \\\end{gathered}
