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)
