Answer

Sum of marks obtained in class 1 = 100(30) = 3000

Sum of marks obtained in class 2 = 50(60) = 3000

Total marks obtained in class 1 and class 2 = 6000

Total number of students in class 1 and class 2 = 100 + 50 = 150

By formula,

Mean= Sum of all observations Number of observations=6000150=40.\text{Mean} = \dfrac{\text{ Sum of all observations}}{\text{ Number of observations}} \\[1em] = \dfrac{6000}{150} \\[1em] = 40.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
