6. Topic: Arithmetic (Ratio & Proportion)
Let $(x) be the unit share of money.
As share = $(2x)
Total sum of money = $(2x + 3x + 4x)= $(9x)
If the money was divided equally, A would have $[
9x
3
=$(3x).
Given that A would have received an extra $20,
$(3x 2x) = $20
x = 20
Total sum of money = $(9x)
= $(9 20)
= $180
Alternative Method:

position
Median = 69 marks
(c) Mean mark of boys = 62 marks
Mean mark of girls = 67.6 marks
The girls performed better.
Answer (a) 75 marks [1]
(b) 69 marks [1]
(c)
The girls performed better because their mean mark (67.6) is higher
[1] than the mean mark (62) of the boys .
Speed =
DIstancc

Since the sets of marks are not skewed
by extreme values, its more accurate to
compare their mean marks (instead of
median or mode) so that all marks are
taken into account.
