.It is given that in 5 of the 9 subjects, a student scored an average of 72 marks, and
an average of 81 marks in the remaining 4 subjects.
We need to find the average marks scored by student on all the nine subjects.
We know,
Average= 72= sum of all the marks in 5 subjects/5=72*5=360
For other four subjects, average is 81 marks. So
Sum of the marks in four subjects = 81 × 4 = 324
Total marks in all 9 subjects = Sum of the marks scored in 5 subjects + Sum of the
marks scored in remaining 4 subjects
= 360 + 324 = 684
Combine average=684/9=76
