Vedclass · Answer

Let the number of candidates attended the examination be $'n'.$

Total marks in the examination $=60 n$

$80$ candidates marks are changed from $95$ to $70$ and average reduced to $55$ marks.

Old average $=60 \Rightarrow$ Total $=60 n$ ....$(1)$

As per new average, total marks in the examination $=55 n$

$=60 n-80 	imes(95-70)$

$=60 n-2000$

$60 n-55 n=2000$

$5 n=2000$

$n=400$
