Strange Puzzle - Strange Brainteaser
Once a professor was teaching mathematics in a college. He declared that, all the students who will score equal to more than the class average in his subject in the upcoming semester examination will be marked as PASS. Those who will score lesser than average will be marked as FAIL.
Actually the teacher was trying to infuse competition in the class by introducing relative grading system. But this professor was outsmarted by a very intelligent student, Mohit, who suggested to the class a solution to handle this crisis situation. The class unanimously agreed.
This resulted in a very strange thing which never happened in the history of the college.
Can you guess what happened?
What did Mohit suggested and why?

Sorry…but i don’t agree with the answer..here it is written that the students who will score “equal to “”more than”" class average” will be marked as pass…but if nobody will write then class average is 0 and all students marks are also zero which is not greater than the average VALUE.!!
