The given table represents the sale (in thousands) of cars by four companies A, B, C and D in six years. Study the table and answer the question that follows.

The Total number of cars sold by company C in 2018 exceeds the average number of cars sold by company A during 2014 to 2018 by:

16,000

Average cars sold by A from 2014 to 2018 =  \(\frac{ 52 + 61 + 72 + 52 + 63}{6}\)

= \(\frac{ 300}{5}\)

= 60 thousands

Car sold by C in 2018 = 76 thousands

So Number of car exceeds by = 76000 - 60000 = 16000
