Solution

The correct option is B 22.7
Marginal utility of the 5th unit will be total utility of 5th unit- total utility of 4th unit that is 170-144= 26. Now the total utility of 9th unit will be the summation of the marginal utilities of all the previous terms that is 40+38+35+31+26+20+13+5-4= 204. The average utility of 9th unit will be total utility of 9th unit by 9 that is 204/9= 22.7 approximately.
