Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : Only II

Given:

Total number of students = 60

Boys : Girls = 7 : 5

Average marks of girls in Sanskrit = 104% of average marks of boys in Sanskrit

Overall average marks in Sanskrit = 76.25

Formula Used:

Average = Sum of values/Number of values

Calculation:

Let the number of boys = 7y

Let the number of girls = 5y

7y + 5y = 60

⇒ 12y = 60

⇒ y = 5

⇒ Boys = 35

⇒ Girls = 25

Let average marks of girls in Sanskrit = a

⇒ Sum of marks of girls = 25a

Let average marks of boys in Sanskrit = b

⇒ Sum of marks of boys = 35b

Given, a = (104/100)b

⇒ a = (26/25)b

Sum of marks of all the students in Sanskrit/60 = 76.25

⇒ Sum of marks of all the students in Sanskrit = 4575

⇒ 25a + 35b = 4575

⇒ 25 × (26/25)b + 35b = 4575

⇒ 26b + 35b = 4575

⇒ 61b = 4575

b = 75

a = 78

I. The sum of 1/3 of average marks of boys in Sanskrit and average marks of girls in Sanskrit is a multiple of 9

(1/3)75 + 78 = 103

⇒ which is not a multiple of 9

⇒ I is not correct

II. Sum of marks of all the students in Sanskrit is a multiple of 61

Sum of marks of all the students in Sanskrit = 4575

⇒ 61 × 75

⇒ II is correct

∴ Only II is correct.
