Explanation:
- In the class, 29 boys have an average Maths score of 89.
- The 21 girls in the class have an average Maths score of 91.
- To find the class average, calculate the weighted average of boys and girls scores.
- Boys' total score = 29 boys * 89 = 2581
- Girls' total score = 21 girls * 91 = 1911
- Total class score = 2581 + 1911 = 4492
- Total number of students = 29 boys + 21 girls = 50
- Class average = Total score / Total students = 4492 / 50 = 89.84
- The correct answer is Option 4: 89.84
