Total number of students = 750

F1 Vaibhav.S 05-08-21 Savita D1

The number of students who like red and green colors only  =  70% of 150 students

and The number of students who like red and blue colours only = 60% of 125 students

Formula used:

Average = (Sum of values)/(Number of values)

Calculation:

Total number of students who like only one colour = 109 + 150 + 125

⇒ 384 students

and Number of values = 3

Now, required average = 384/3

⇒ 128

∴ 128 is the average number of students who like only one color.
