Direction: A health drink company prepares the drink of three different flavours P, Q, R. The production of three flavours over a period of six years has been expressed on bar graph provided below. Study the graph and answer the questions.

What is the difference between the average production of flavour Q in 2008, 2009 and 2010 from that of flavour P in 2005, 2006 and 2007 (in lakh bottles)?

1. 50
2. 0.5
3. 5.5
4. 5

Correct Option: D

On the basis of given graph in question ,
Total production of flavour Q in 2008, 2009 and 2010 = 55 + 50 + 55 = 160 lakh bottels
Number of given years = 3

Average production of flavour Q during 2008, 2009 and 2010 =	Total production of flavour Q in 2008, 2009 and 2010
	Number of given years

Average production of flavour Q during 2008, 2009 and 2010 =	160	lakh bottles
	3

Total production of flavour P in 2005, 2006 and 2007 = 50 + 40 + 55 = 160 lakh bottels
Number of given years = 3

Average production of flavour P in 2005, 2006 and 2007 =	Total production of flavour P in 2005, 2006 and 2007
	Number of given years

Average production of flavour P in 2005, 2006 and 2007 =	145	lakh bottles
	3

Required difference =		160	-	145
		3		3

Required difference =	15	= 5 lakh bottles
	3
