Given:

Class X has 45 students scoring average marks of 30

Class Y has 35 students scoring average marks of 18

Formula used:

Combined Average Marks = \(\dfrac{\text{Total Marks of Class X} + \text{Total Marks of Class Y}}{\text{Total Students of Class X} + \text{Total Students of Class Y}}\)

Calculation:

Total Marks of Class X = 45 × 30 = 1350

Total Marks of Class Y = 35 × 18 = 630

Total Students = 45 + 35 = 80

⇒ Combined Average Marks = \(\dfrac{1350 + 630}{80}\)

⇒ Combined Average Marks = \(\dfrac{1980}{80}\)

⇒ Combined Average Marks = 24.75

∴ The correct answer is option 2.
