Correct Answer: Rs. 6,441


Solution : The total sale for 5 days can be calculated by multiplying the average sale by the number of days
= Rs. 6,050 × 5 = Rs. 30,250
The total sale for the first 4 days = Rs. 5,445 + Rs. 5,937 + Rs. 5,865 + Rs. 6,562 = Rs. 23,809
The sale on the fifth day is the total sale for 5 days minus the total sale for the first 4 days = Rs. 30,250 – Rs. 23,809 = Rs. 6,441
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 6,441.
