Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Students in }}A = 50 \cr
& {\text{Students in }}B = 40 \cr
& {\text{Total students}}:A:B = 9:5:4 \cr
& \frac{{{\text{Average of }}A}}{{{\text{Average of }}B}} = \frac{{13x}}{{10x}} \cr
& 9 \times 63 = 13x \times 5 + 10x \times 4 \cr
& 567 = 65x + 40x \cr
& 105x = 567 \cr
& x = \frac{{567}}{{105}} \cr
& x = \frac{{81}}{{15}} \cr
& x = \frac{{27}}{5} \cr
& {\text{Average of }}B = 10x \cr
& = 10 \times \frac{{27}}{5} \cr
& = 54 \cr} $$
