2015 8412 10512
2016 7148 8620
2017 8424 10020

 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 1627.

The sum of sale of A = 5640 + 8412 + 7148 + 8424 = 29624

Average sale of company A = Sum of sale of A / 4 = 296244\frac{29624}{4} = 7406

The sum of sale of B = 6980 + 10512 + 8620 + 10020 = 36132

Average sale of company B = Sum of sale of B / 4 = 361324\frac{36132}{4} = 9033

Difference between the average sale of company A and B = 9033 - 7406 = 1627
