Question

The bar graph given below shows the sales of newspapers (in million number) from six branches of a publishing company during two consecutive years 2013 and 2014.

i) What is the average sales of all the branches (in million numbers) for the year 2014?

ii) What is the total sales of NP1, NP3 and NP5 for both years?

• A. 41.333, 235
• B. 45.833, 260
• C. 49.666, 310
• D. 52.666, 160

Answer 1

The correct option is B

45.833, 260

i) Total sales of all branches of 2014 = 55 + 65 + 35 + 25 + 55 + 40 = 275 million

The average sales of all the branches (in million numbers) for the year 2014 = 275/6 = 45.833 million

ii) Total NP1 sales for both years = 45+55 = 100 million

Total NP3 sales for both years = 45+35 = 80 million

Total NP5 sales for both years = 25+55 = 80 million

Total sales for NP1, NP3, NP5 for both years = (80+80+100) = 260 million
