Answer :
Let the number of boys is ‘x' and the number of girls is (150 – x)
Mean weight of 150 students = 60 kg
Mean weight of ‘x’ boys = 70kg
Total weight of boys = 70x
Mean weight of (150 – x) girls = 55
Total weight of girls = (150 – x) × 55
Applying above formula,
70 x – 55 x + 150 × 55 = 150 × 60
15 x + 8250 = 9000
15 x = 750
x = 50
So, the number of boys 50 and number of girls 150 – 50 = 100
