Correct Answer: 77.76
Solution :
College P has 180 students with average marks of 88.
Total marks of college P are (180 × 88) = 15840
College Q has 320 students with average marks of 72.
Total marks of college Q are (320 × 72) = 23040
So, total marks of both colleges combined = (15840 + 23040) = 38880
Total students of colleges P and Q = (180 + 320) = 500
So, average marks of both colleges combined $=\frac{38880}{500} = 77.76$
Hence, the correct answer is 77.76.
