Study the given table and answer the following question:Annual consumption (in hundred tonnes) of tea in five states (A, B, C, D and E) across 6 years (2014 to 2019):State/YearABCDE201411213013610511720151221381501401202016124134142144132201713215419814913320181351481871511452019153136198150187 The consumption of tea in which state and year is closet to 1.1 times the average consumption of tea in state E over 6 years?1. D in 20182. C in 20153. B in 20174. A in 2019

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : A in 2019

Given:

State/YearABCDE
2014112130136105117
2015122138150140120
2016124134142144132
2017132154198149133
2018135148187151145
2019153136198150187

Formula used:

Average = Sum of observation/Total number of observation

Calculation:

First, find the average of E

⇒ (117 + 120 + 132 + 133 + 145 + 187)/6

⇒ 834/6 = 139

Now, find 1.1 times of 139

⇒ 139 × 1.1 = 152.9

Which is closed to A in 2019 - 153

∴ A in 2019 is the closest to 1.1 times the average of E in 6 years.
