The average of marks of 28 students in Mathematics = 50
Total marks of 28 students = 28 × 50 = 1400
When 8 students left , The average of marks of 20 students = 55

The average of marks of 28 students in Mathematics = 50
Total marks of 28 students = 28 × 50 = 1400
When 8 students left , The average of marks of 20 students = 55
Total marks of 20 students = 20 × 55 = 1100
∴ Total marks of 8 students = 1400 – 1100 = 300
∴ Average = 300 ÷ 8 = 37.5

Let the average for first 12 innings is y
According to question ,
⇒ 12y + 96 = (y + 5) x 13
⇒ 13y - 12y = 96 - 65
⇒ y = 31Correct Option: C
Let the average for first 12 innings is y
According to question ,
⇒ 12y + 96 = (y + 5) x 13
⇒ 13y - 12y = 96 - 65
⇒ y = 31
∴ Average after 13th inning = (31 + 5)= 36
