Correct Answer: 67.5


Solution : Total number of students = 40
Number of students with an average score of 60 = 25
Number of students with an average score of 80 = 15
Now, the class average
=$\frac{\text{Sum of marks of all students}}{\text{Total number of students}}$
= $\frac{25\times 60+15\times 80}{40}$
= $67.5$
Hence, the correct answer is 67.5.
