  1. A. 222.5 (Correct answer)
  2. B. 222
  3. C. 227.5
  4. 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.
