The correct option is (b) 65.
Explanation:
Since, total number of students = 100
and number of boys = 70
Number of girls = (100 - 70)= 30
Now, the total marks of 100 students = 100 x 72 = 7200
And total marks of 70 boys = 70 x 75 = 5250
Total marks of 30 girls = 7200 - 5250 = 1950
Average marks of 30 girls = 1950/30 = 65
