What is the average amount (in ₹) paid by the company on fuel and transport per year from 2015 to 2019?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e.1,17,200.

We know that,

Average = Sum of observations/Number of observations

Now,

The expenditure by the company on fuel and transport per year from 2015 to 2019 = (98 + 112 + 101 + 133 + 142) = 586

586 in thousands = 58600

Average = 58600/5 = 117200
