What is the average number of candidates who attended the interview from the state of Kerala for all the years?

Correct option is D

Given:

The number of candidates from Kerala who attended interviews from 2012 to 2016:

2012 => 440

2013 => 400

2014 => 350

2015 => 380

2016 => 420

Concept Used:

The average number of candidates is calculated as:

​$$\text{Average} = \frac{\text{Sum of all values}}{\text{Total number of years}}$$​​

Solution:

Sum of all candidates

440+400+350+380+420=1990

​$$\text{Average} = \frac{1990}{5} = 398$$

Option(D) is right .
