The average score of 42 students in a test is 69. The ratio of the number of boys to that of girls is 10 : 11. The average score of the boys is 20% more than that of the girls. The average score of the boys is:
Total score = $$69\times 42 $$ = 2898
Ratio Boys : Girls = $$10x : 11x $$ (where $$ x$$ is propostional constant)
total student = $$ 10x + 11x = 21 x $$
According to question now girls score is 1 and boys score is 1.2
then total student score = $$10\times 1.2x + 11\times1 x =23 x $$
so $$ x = \dfrac {2858}{23}$$
$$\Rightarrow x = 126 $$
Boys score Average = $$ \dfrac{126\times 12}{20}$$
Boys score Average = $$75.6$$ Ans
