    Question

    Study the following table carefully to answer the question that follows.

    Number of candidates appeared in the interview for the post of P.O. in a bank from five different states of India.

    Identify the only State whose average of students appearing for the interview for all the years, is higher than that of UP?

    A.

    Punjab

    B.

    Bihar

    C.

    MP

    D.

    Kerala

    Correct option is B

    Formula used:

    Average = Sum of all valueNumber of all value\frac{Sum\ of\ all\ value}{Number\ of\ all\ value} 

    Solution:

    Total number of Students appearing for the interview in Bihar for all the years = (410+500+450+320+500) = 2180

    Average of students appearing for the interview in Bihar = Sum of all valueNumber of all value\frac{Sum\ of\ all\ value}{Number\ of\ all\ value} = 21805=436\frac{2180}{5}= 436 

    ​Total number of Students appearing for the interview in UP for all the years = (300+400+450+500+430)= 2080

    Average of students appearing for the interview in UP = 20805=416\frac{2080}{5}= 416 

    Total number of Students appearing for the interview in MP for all the years = (250+280+240+400+540) = 1710

    Average of students appearing for the interview in MP = 17105=342\frac{1710}{5}= 342 

    Total number of Students appearing for the interview in Punjab for all the years= (280+320+260+400+350) = 1610

    Average of students appearing for the interview in Punjab = 16105=322\frac{1610}{5}=322

    Total number of Students appearing for the interview in Kerala for all the years = (440+400+350+380+420) = 1950

    Average of students appearing for the interview in Kerala = 19505=390\frac{1950}{5}= 390 

    So, Bihar is only State whose average of students appearing for the interview for all the years, is higher than that of UP.

    Thus the correct option is (B)
