It's a weighted avg question. The overall average's proximity to the male and female data points depends on the ratio of male to female group size. If we know how close the weighted avg is to male and female average, we can tell the % breakdown of males and females. The answer is C

QID 1081

Let number of male student=100x
Let number of female student=100y
and we are looking for 100x*100/(100x+100y) or 100x/x+y

From 1
33x+20y has been transferred...not sufficient

From 2
25x+25y has been transferred...not sufficient

combining
33x+20y=25x+25y
or 8x=5y or y=8x/5

so x/x+y =x/(x+8/5x) or 5/13..so its 500/13 or 38% approx..sufficient

Ans option C
