Question
Rini – and only three male students – Biman, Mathew and Shyamal – in a course. The course has two evaluation components, a project and a test. The aggregate score in the course is a weighted average of the two components, with the weights being positive and adding to 1.
The projects are done in groups of two, with each group consisting of a female and a male student. Both the group members obtain the same score in the project.
The following additional facts are known about the scores in the project and the test.
- The minimum, maximum and the average of both project and test scores were identical – 40, 80 and 60, respectively.
- The test scores of the students were all multiples of 10; four of them were distinct and the remaining two were equal to the average test scores.
- Amala's score in the project was double that of Koli in the same, but Koli scored 20 more than Amala in the test. Yet Amala had the highest aggregate score.
- Shyamal scored the second highest in the test. He scored two more than Koli, but two less than Amala in the aggregate.
- Biman scored the second lowest in the test and the lowest in the aggregate.
- Mathew scored more than Rini in the project, but less than her in the test.
What was the weight of the test component?
