Question

The average production for five years was maximum for which Company?

• A. Y
• B. Z
• C. X and Y both
• D. X and Z both

Answer 1

The correct option is D

X and Z both

Average production (in lakh tons) in five years for the three companies are:

For Company X = $\left[\frac{1}{5}\times \left(30+45+25+50+40\right)\right]=\frac{190}{5}=38$

For Company Y = $\left[\frac{1}{5}\times \left(25+35+35+40+50\right)\right]=\frac{185}{5}=37$

For Company Z = $\left[\frac{1}{5}\times \left(35+40+45+35+35\right)\right]=\frac{190}{5}=38$.

$\therefore$ Average production of five years is maximum for both the Companies X and Z.
