    Explanation

    Let the total applicants be 100 Then, 20% got 85 marks i.e 20 x 85 = 1700 and 25% got 95 marks i.e 25 x 95 = 2375 Now, the remaining applicants are 55 and let the average marks scored by them be x. Therefore, 2375 + 1700 + 55x  = 60×10060\times100 6000 - 4075 = 55x 55x=1925 x=35.
