    Solution

    Total number of students attended seminar on topic B = (40/100) × 500 = 200 Total number of students attended seminar on topic C = (20/100) × 500 = 100 Number of boys attended seminar on topic B = (3/5) × 200 = 120 Number of girls attended seminar on topic B = (2/5) × 200 = 80 Number of boys attended seminar on topic A = 120 - 100 = 20 Number of boys attended seminar on topic C = (1/4) × 100 = 25 Number of girls attended seminar on topic C = (3/4) × 100 = 75 Number of boys attended seminar on topic D = 150 - 90 = 60 Total number of students attended seminar on topic A = 500 – (200 + 100 + 150) = 50 Number of girls attended seminar on topic A = 50 - 20 = 30 Required average = (75 + 30 + 90)/3 = 195/3 = 65
