Option 5 : All three

Let there are ‘x’ boys and ‘y’ girls in the class

⇒ Total marks scored by class = 72.5(x + y)

Considering statement I,

Difference between number of boys and girls = 12

⇒ x - y = 12       ---- (1)

Considering statement II,

Average marks scored by boys = 70.5

⇒ Total marks scored by boys = 70.5x

Considering statement III,

Average marks scored by girls = 75.5

⇒ Total marks scored by girls = 75.5y

Using information from II and III,

Total marks scored by class = 70.5x + 75.5y

⇒ 72.5x + 72.5y = 70.5x + 75.5y

⇒ x = 3y/2

Substituting in (1),

⇒ 3y/2 - y = 12

⇒ y = 24

⇒ x = y + 12 = 24 + 12 = 36

⇒ Total no. of students in class = x + y = 36 = 24 = 60

∴ The question can be answered using all the three statements
