• B. 4.33
• C. 4.17
• D. 3.33
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C 4.17

Average production of company A

$=\frac{50+40+55+45+60+50}{6}$

$=\frac{300}{6}=50$ lakh tonnes

Average production of company B

$=\frac{55+60+50+55+50+55}{6}$

$=\frac{325}{6}=54.17$ lakh tonnes

Average production of company C

$=\frac{45+50+60+60+45+40}{6}$

$=\frac{300}{6}=50$ lakh tonnes

$\therefore$ Required difference = 54.17 - 50 lakh tonnes

= 4.17 lakh tonnes.
