Study the given table and answer the question that follows.

The table shows the annual consumption (in hundred tonnes) of tea in five states (A, B, C, D and E) across six years (2014 to 2019).

The consumption of tea in which state and year is closest to the average consumption of tea in State A over six years?

B in 2014

Average consumption of tea in State A over six years = \(\frac{112+122+124+132+135+153 }{6}\)

= \(\frac{ 778 }{6}\)

= 129.67

The consumption of tea in state B in 2014 is 130 which is closest to Average consumption of tea in State A over six years.
