A class of 30 students appeared in a test. The average score of 12 students is 60, and that of the rest is 60. What is the average score of the class?
Correct Answer
60
Understanding Group Averages: The problem divides the class of 30 students into two groups: a group of 12 students and a 'rest' group of $30 - 12 = 18$ students......
💡 Analysis & Explanation
Understanding Group Averages
The problem divides the class of 30 students into two groups: a group of 12 students and a 'rest' group of $30 - 12 = 18$ students.
Uniformity of Scores
We are given that the average score of the first group is 60. Remarkably, the average score of the remaining group is also given as exactly 60.
Property of Means
When two or more subsets of a population all share the exact same average value, the overall average of the combined population will remain identical to that shared average. There's no need for complex weighted sum calculations.
Conclusion
Since both subsets average 60, the average score of the entire class is inherently 60.
