The bar graph represents the total number of applications received for B.Sc. Mathematics by two different colleges A and B in 5 different years.

Options:

5

4

6

8

Correct Answer:

4

Explanation:

Average number of applications received by college A from 2014 to 2018  

= ( \(\frac{220+160+250+180+160 }{5}\) ) 

= ( \(\frac{970 }{5}\) )

= 194

Average number of applications received by college B from 2014 to 2018

= ( \(\frac{150+240+170+150+240 }{5}\) )

= ( \(\frac{ 950 }{5}\) )

=  190

Difference b/w average number of applications received by A and B from 2014 to 2018

= 194 - 190

= 4
