A grocer has a sale of Rs. 6435, Rs. 6927, Rs. 6855, Rs. 7230 and Rs. 6562 for 5 consecutive months. How much sale must he have in the sixth month so that he gets an average sale of Rs. 6500?

A.
Rs. 4991
Answer
B.
Rs. 5991
C.
Rs. 6001
D.
Rs. 6991

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Total sale for 5 months
= Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562)
= Rs. 34009
∴ Required sale
= Rs. [(6500 × 6) - 34009]
= Rs. (39000 - 34009)
= Rs. 4991
