Question

In the graph you can find the takings of a chocolate bar for $8$ months.

Answer the following question:

What is the average chocolate bars taken out from the month January to May?

• A. $23000$
• B. $35000$
• C. $50000$
• D. $42000$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $42000$

From the given frequency polygon,

Number of chocolates taken in Jan $=50000$

Number of chocolates taken in Feb $=40000$

Number of chocolates taken in Mar $=35000$

Number of chocolates taken in Apr $=45000$

Number of chocolates taken in May $=40000$

Number of chocolates taken in June $=50000$

Number of chocolates taken in Jul $=60000$

Number of chocolates taken in Aug $=60000$.

Then, Average of chocolate bars taken out $=$ $\frac{50000+40000+35000+45000+40000}{5}$
$=$ $\frac{210000}{5}$ $=42000$.

Therefore, $42000$ chocolate bars are taken out from the month January to May.

Hence, option $D$ is correct.
