Given:

Class 1: Number of students = 75, Average marks = 75

Class 2: Number of students = 80, Average marks = 80

Class 3: Number of students = 85, Average marks = 85

Formula used:

Overall average = \(\frac{\text{Sum of marks of all classes}}{\text{Total number of students}}\)

Calculation:

Sum of marks for Class 1 = 75 × 75 = 5625

Sum of marks for Class 2 = 80 × 80 = 6400

Sum of marks for Class 3 = 85 × 85 = 7225

Total sum of marks = 5625 + 6400 + 7225 = 19250

Total number of students = 75 + 80 + 85 = 240

⇒ Overall average = \(\frac{19250}{240}\)

⇒ Overall average = 80.2083 (approximately)

∴ The correct answer is option (1).
