The average number of students in a government school in bangalore are 4600 and the average number in private schools are 5400.

If there are 6 private schools and 4 government schools in an area, what is the average number of students per school in that area?

• A. 5800
• B. 5080
• C. 4800
• D. 5250

Answer 1

The correct option is B

5080

No. of government schools in the area = 4

Average number of students per school = 4600

$\therefore$ Total number of students in 4 schools = 4600 $\times$ 4 = 18400

No. of private schools in the area = 6

Average number of students per school = 5400

$\therefore$ Total number of students in 6 schools = 5400 $\times$ 6 = 32400

Average number of students in 10 schools combined = $\frac{32400+18400}{10}$

= $\frac{32400+18400}{10}$

= $\frac{50800}{10}$

= 5080
