First case:

average of test score =70

number of students =p

total score of 'p' students = ( average of test score)*( number of students)

total score of 'p' students =70p

Second case:

average of test score =92

number of students =n

total score of 'n' students = ( average of test score)*( number of students)

total score of 'n' students =92n

total number of students = p+n

total average score =86

so, total score =86(p+n)

total score = total score of 'p' students +total score of 'n' students

86(p+n)=70p+92n

now, we can simplify it

86p+86n=70p+92n

86p-70p=92n-86n

16p=6n

now, we can find p/n

\frac{p}{n}= \frac{6}{16}

\frac{p}{n}= \frac{3}{8}................Answer

Ksju [112]
<span>Each number had 10 possibilities. So to calculate the number of possibilities for two numbers multiply 10 by 10. This means that for all 4 digits the number of possible permutations is 10x10x10x10 or 10 to the power 4. This equals to 10,000 therefore D.
