For the total of these four families, what is the difference (in kg) between the average consumption per year of wheat and that of oats?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 70.75.

From the given table

The average consumption per year of wheat = (162 + 196 + 187 + 189)/4 = 183.5 kg

The average consumption per year of oats = (131 + 116 + 103 + 101)/4 = 112.75 kg

Hence, the required difference = 183.5 - 112.75 = 70.75 kg
