(a) 50 (b) 55 (c) 60 (d) 100
Sol. Total students in class = 150
mean weight = 60 kg
total weight = 150 × 60 = 9000 kg
Let the total number of boys = x
mean weight of boys = 70 kg
total weight of boys = 70 × x = 70xkg
total number of girls = total students
no. of boys = 150 - x
mean weight of girls = 55 kg
total weight of girls
 55  (150  x)  55 150  55x  (8250  55)

Total weight = weight of boys + weight of girls
9000  70x  (8250  55x)
9000  70x  8250  55x
9000  8250  70x  55x
750  15x
750
x

x  50
So number of boys = 50, number of girls = 150 – 50 = 100

Q4. Consider the following statements :

Statement 1: Range is not a good measure of dispersion.

Statement 2: Range is highly affected by the existence of extreme values.

Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?

(a) Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation
of Statement 1

(a) 75 and 75 (b) 50 and 100 (c) 70 and 80 (d) 100 and 50
Sol. Total students in class = 150
mean weight = 60 kg
total weight = 150 × 60 = 9000 kg
Let the total number of boys = x
mean weight of boys = 70 kg
total weight of boys = 70 × x = 70xkg
total number of girls = total students
no. of boys = 150 - x
mean weight of girls = 55 kg
36
total weight of girls
 55  (150  x)  55 150  55x  (8250  55)
Total weight = weight of boys + weight of girls
9000  70x  (8250  55x)
9000  70x  8250  55x
9000  8250  70x  55x

So number of boys = 50, number of girls = 150 – 50 = 100
