    As per the given bar graph ,
    The total production of table fans on Monday and Tuesday = 260 + 540 = 800
    Number of days = 2

    Average production on Monday and Tuesday = The total production of table fans on Monday and Tuesday
    Number of days

    Average production on Monday and Tuesday =
    800
    = 400
    2

    Correct Option: B

    As per the given bar graph ,
    The total production of table fans on Monday and Tuesday = 260 + 540 = 800
    Number of days = 2

    Average production on Monday and Tuesday = The total production of table fans on Monday and Tuesday
    Number of days

    Average production on Monday and Tuesday =
    800
    = 400
    2

    Average production of the week = 300
    Required difference = Average production on Monday and Tuesday - Average production of the week
    ∴ Required difference = 400 – 300 = 100 fans
