The average marks obtained in a test by x students of a class was m. Was (x + 3) the average marks obtained by three students with the lowest marks in the same test?

(1) If the lowest three marks were excluded, the average score of the class would have increased by three.
(2) m = 2x.


Average =\(\frac{Sum}{Number}\) =\(\frac{S}{x}\) = m
\(\frac{L}{3}\) = x+3?

1) Lowest 3 marks = L
\(\frac{(S-L)}{(x-3)}\) = x+3
=> S-L = mx+3x-3m-9
=> mx - L = mx+3x-3m-9
=> L = 3m-3x+9
\(\frac{L}{3}\) = m-x+3
m = ?
Insufficient.

2) m = 2x
Doesn't
