Question

What is the difference between the average production of flavour X in 1995, 1996 and 1997 and the average production of flavour Y in 1998, 1999 and 2000?

• A. 50,000 bottles
• B. 80,000 bottles
• C. 2,40,000 bottles
• D. 5,00,000 bottles

Answer 1

The correct option is D 5,00,000 bottles

Average production of flavour X in 1995, 1996 and 1997
$=[\frac{1}{3}\times (50+40+55\left)\right]$
$=\left(\frac{145}{3}\right)$ lakh bottles.
Average production of flavour Y in 1998, 1999 and 2000

$=[\frac{1}{3}\times (55+50+55\left)\right]$
$=\left(\frac{160}{3}\right)$ lakh bottles.
$\therefore$ Difference $=(\frac{160}{3}-\frac{145}{3})$
$=\frac{15}{3}$
= 5 lakh bottles
= 5,00,000 bottles.
