The difference (in tonnes) between the average production of barley and average production of rice is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Average production of Barley = \(\frac{975 + 825 + 700 + 625 + 775}{5}\)
= \(\frac{ 3900}{5}\)
= 780
Average production of Rice = \(\frac{ 415 + 520 + 585 + 625 + 600}{5}\)
= \(\frac{ 2745 }{5}\)
= 549
Required difference = 780 - 549
= 231
