Lets assume that total number of students in class is 100 and required average be x.
Then from the given statement we can calculate :
(10 * 95) + (20 * 90) + (70 * x) = (100 * 80)

=> 70x = 8000 - (950 + 1800) = 5250

=> x = 75.

5. Out of 450 students of a school, 325 play football, 175 play cricket and 50 neither play football nor cricket. How many students play both football and cricket ?

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Students who play cricket, n(A) = 325
Students who play football, n(B) = 175
Total students who play either or both games,
\begin{aligned}
= n(A\cup B) = 450-50 = 400\\
\text{Required Number}, n(A \cap B) \\
= n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cup B) \\
= 325 + 175 - 400 = 100
\end{aligned}
