Answers and Explanations

1. From the table it is given that the number of females are 32 which is the 40% of the student which means the total number of students are 80 and the number of boys are 48 2. Now in the question we are given by that half the students were excellent or good Also it is given that One third of the male students were average. So the numbers of male average students are 16 3. (Number of average students) = (number of good students + number of excellent students) = 40. 4. Total good students = 30 5. Therefore the number of excellent students = 40 – 30 = 10. 6. Also in the question it is mentioned that 1/3rd of male students were average, Therefore total number of boy students that were good = (48 – 16 – 10) = 22.
