The difference (in tonnes) between the average production of barley and average production of rice is:

Options:

231

780

549

471

Correct Answer:

231

Explanation:

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
