a) 55
b) 67
c) 52
d) 57
e) 60

• Mark =average *no of paper
  = 52*5 =260
  =260+15 =275
  Mark= 275/5=55
• 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(0)
• the difference in old and previous mark is 15(60-45)
  15/5=3
  new average=52+3=55
• 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(0)
• Total=avg*no of students
  Total=52*5=275
  Avg=275/5=55
• 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(6)
• Formula: New avg=old avg+diff of values/total
  Here x = 52+60-45/5
  x = 52+15/5
  x = 55

• 55 wld be the answer
  55 = 52 + (60-45)/5
• 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• (a+b+c+d+e)/5=52
  After revaluation he get 15 marks more on one subject:e+15
  Avg of 15:15/5=3
  Overall average :52+3=55

• let sum of marks=x
  x/5=52 (given)
  new avr = (x-45+60)/5
  =x/5+3
  =52+3
  =55

• Over all 15 marks increased.
  15(diff. of marks increased)/5(no. of sub)=3.
  52+3=55.

• Revised paper mark is 60-45=15,
  No of subjects =5,
  Avg mark =52
  Then , new avg = avg mark + (revised paper mark / no of subject)
  New avg mark = 52+ (15/5)
• 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• total=avg*papers
  total=52*5=260
  now new sum is 260+15=275
  new avg=275/5=55
• 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• let those numbers be a,b,c,d,e
  (a+b+c+d+e)/5=52
  a+b+c+d+e=260
  by adding new marks and subtracting old marks
  a+b+c+d+e=275
  avg=275/5=55

• 52marks in 5papers = 52*5=260
  after revalution he got 45-60 marks= difference=15
  260+15=275
  marks=275/5=55
• 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 55 is the ans
• 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• total marks obtain= 52x5=260
  marks increase after re-evalutionn= 60-45=15
  total marks now= 260+15=275
  average marks now= 275/5= 55 (ans)
• 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• as there are 5 paper in total and average score is 52 then he will get total marks=52*5=260 marks.
  if one of the paper he got revised his marks from 45 to 60.then more marks will be(60-45)=15
  there fore total marks =260+15=275
  so the average of 5 pape r is = 275/5=55
