Question

Mr. Patel and his family drove through 6 states on a holiday trip. Petrol prices in different states are given below:
53 (Haryana), 48 (Punjab), 51.5 (Rajasthan), 52.25 (Gujarat), 52 (Delhi), 48.5 (Uttar Pradesh)
What is the range of petrol prices?

• A. 50.8
• B. 52.25
• C. 5
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is C

5

Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get
48, 48.5, 51.5, 52, 52.25, 53
Range = Highest value - lowest value = 53 - 48 = 5
Thus, the range of petrol prices is 5.
