According to given table, we have
Total production of cars of all types taken together in given years = 476
Number of given years = 6Average = Total production of cars of all types taken together in given years Number of given years
Correct Option: C
According to given table, we have
Total production of cars of all types taken together in given years = 476
Number of given years = 6Average = Total production of cars of all types taken together in given years Number of given years Average = 476 = 79.33 ≈ 80 6
Which is equal to total production of all types of cars in 1993.

On the basis of given table in question ,
Let total number of film watchers be 100% .
In city P , If 60% of them watched only on movie in a week , then 40% watched two or more movie in a week .
⇒ 40% ≈ 24000∴ 1% ≈ 24000 40 Now , 60% ≈ 60 × 24000 = 36000 40
Similarly for city Q,⇒ 20% ≈ 20 × 30000 = 7500 80
For city R,⇒ 85% ≈ 85 × 24000 = 136000 15
