A grocer has a sale of Rs. 6435, Rs. 6927, Rs. 6855, Rs. 7230 and Rs. 6562 for 5 consecutive months. How much sale must he have in the sixth month so that he gets an average sale of Rs. 6500?
Answer: B
Let the sale in the sixth month \(=x\)
Then, \(\dfrac{6435+6927+6855+7230+6562+x}{6}=6500\)
\(\Rightarrow 6435+6927+6855+7230+6562+x=6 \times 6500\\
\Rightarrow 34009 + x = 39000\\
\Rightarrow x = 39000 - 34009 = 4991\)
