Solution

The correct option is A $64$
The mean marks of 10 boys = 70
Total marks of 10 boys = $70 \times 10 = 700$
The mean marks of 15 girls = 60
Total marks of 15 girls $= 60 \times 15 = 900$
$∴$ Sum of the total marks of 25 students
$= 700 + 900 = 1600$
$∴$ The mean marks of all the 25 students
$= R s . \frac{1600}{25} = 64$
