A toffee company prepares toffee of two different flavours X and Y. The production of two flavours over a period of 4 years is expressed in the bar graph given below.
What is the difference between the average production of flavour X in 2017 and 2018 and the average production of flavour Y in 2019 and 2020.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 6000 packs.
We know that,
Average = Sum of observations/Number of observations
Production of flavor X in 2017 and 2018 = 20000 + 20000 = 40000
Average = 40000/2 = 20000
Production of flavor Y in 2019 and 2020 = 32000 + 20000 = 52000
Average = 52000/2 = 26000
Difference = 26000 - 20000 = 6000 packs
