Ravi obtained 70 and 75 marks in first two unit test. Find the minimum marks he should get in the third

Question:

Ravi obtained 70 and 75 marks in first two unit test. Find the minimum marks he should get in the third test to have an average of at least 60 marks.

Solution:

Let x be the marks obtained by Ravi in the third unit test.

Since the student should have an average of at least 60 marks,

$\frac{70+75+x}{3} \geq 60$

$\Rightarrow 145+x \geq 180$

$\Rightarrow x \geq 180-145$

$\Rightarrow x \geq 35$

Thus, the student must obtain a minimum of 35 marks to have an average of at least 60 marks.
