    The daily sales of kerosene (in litres) in a ration shop for six days is given in the box.
    75,    120,  12,   50,   70.5,   140.5
    What is the average daily sale?

    A)  \[150\,l\]           

    B)         \[10\,l\]

    C)  \[142\,l\]           

    D)         \[78\,l\]  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

       By definition of average, the average daily sale \[=\left( \frac{75+120+12+50+70.5+140.5}{6} \right)l\] \[=78\,l\] However, without calculating we can say that the answer is D since the average lies between the maximum and the minimum.
