Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 58.
Given that
There are six baskets — Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Black and White
Each basket has some rings in it.
The average number of rings in all six baskets is 38.
According to the question
The total number of baskets = 38 × 6 = 228
Now, the blue basket is removed, and the new average = 34
Hence, The number of rings in blue basket = 228 - (34 × 5) = 228 - 170 = 58
