Question
Table – Daily Wages of 5 Workers Over 4 Days. What is the average daily earning of Worker C?
| Day | A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | 200 | 180 | 220 | 160 | 190 |
| Day 2 | 210 | 175 | 230 | 170 | 195 |
| Day 3 | 190 | 185 | 215 | 180 | 200 |
| Day 4 | 220 | 190 | 225 | 175 | 205 |
- A. 222.5 (Correct answer)
- B. 222
- C. 227.5
- D. 215
Correct Answer
Option A — 222.5
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is 222.5.
Key Points
- Read down the Worker C column across the four days: 220, 230, 215, 225.
- Sum = 220 + 230 + 215 + 225 = 890.
- Average = 890 ÷ 4 = 222.5.
Additional Information
- The first discipline in table-based questions is locating the right row and column; reading Worker B or D here produces one of the other options exactly.
- A shortcut for closely grouped figures is to take a base and average the deviations: with base 220, the deviations are 0, +10, −5, +5, summing to +10, so the average is 220 + 10/4 = 222.5.
- Data interpretation carries a reliable block of marks in SSC CGL because no recall is needed — the entire answer is on the page, and accuracy matters more than speed.
