Answer : 4. "81.5"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 81.5 Explanation: Let the number of students in classes A, B and C be P, Q and R respectively.Then, total score of A = 83P, total score of B = 76Q, total score of C = 85R.Also given that,(83P + 76Q) / (P + Q) = 79=>4P = 3Q.(76Q + 85R)/(Q + R) = 81=>4R = 5Q,=>Q = 4P/3 and R = 5P/3Therefore, average score of A, B, C = ( 83P + 76Q + 85R ) / (P + Q + R) = 978/12 = 81.5
