- Z
- Y
Correct Option: A
From the given bar diagram , we see
Total production of Company X for 5 years = 30 + 45 + 25 + 50 + 40 = 190 lakh tonnes
Number of given years = 5
| Average production of Company X = | Total production of Company X for 5 years | lakh tonnes | |
| Number of given years |
| Average production of Company X = | = 38 lakh tonnes | 5 |
Total production of Company Y for 5 years = 25 + 35 + 35 + 40 + 50 = 185 lakh tonnes
Number of given years = 5
| Average production of Company Y = | Total production of Company Y for 5 years | lakh tonnes | |
| Number of given years |
| Average production of Company Y = | = 37 lakh tonnes | 5 |
Total production of Company Z for 5 years = 35 + 40 + 45 + 35 + 35 = 190 lakh tonnes
Number of given years = 5
| Average production of Company Z = | Total production of Company Z for 5 years | lakh tonnes | |
| Number of given years |
| Average production of Company Z = | = 38 lakh tonnes | 5 |
Thus , required answer is companies X and Z .
