Show Answer

Correct Answer: (3)

Solution: (3)

For state 1,

Total number of SUVs $=14 \%$ of $700=98$

Number of petrol engine SUVs given to state $1=98 \times \frac{4}{7}$ $=56$

For state 2,

Total number of SUVs $=28 \%$ of $700=196$

Number of petrol engine SUVs given to state $2=196 \times \frac{9}{14}$ $=126$

For state 3,

Total number of SUVs $=32 \%$ of $700=224$

Number of petrol engine SUVs given to state $3=224 \times \frac{3}{8}$ $=84$

For state 4,

Total number of SUVs $=26 \%$ of $700=182$

Number of petrol engine SUVs given to state $4=182 \times \frac{1}{2}=91$

Required average $=\left(\frac{56+126+84+91}{4}\right)=\frac{357}{4}\approx 89$
