    Average

    A pupil's marks were wrongly entered as 83 instead of 63. Due to that the average marks for the class got increased by half. The number of pupils in the class is :

    ক)
    45
    খ)
    40
    গ)
    35
    ঘ)
    55

    Explanation

    Let there be x pupils in the class. Total increase in marks = (x * 1/2) = x/2. x/2 = (83 - 63) => x/2 = 20 => x = 40.
