Correct Answer: Q only


Solution : We have,
Total number of years = 6
Total production of flavour P = 50 + 40 + 55 + 45 + 60 + 50 = 300 lakh bottles
The average annual production of Health Juice P
$=\frac{\text{Total sum of Bottles produced}}{\text{Total number of years}}=\frac{300}{6}=$ 50 lakh bottles
Total production of flavour Q = 55 + 60 + 50 + 55 + 50 + 55 = 325 lakh bottles
The average annual production of Health Juice Q
$=\frac{\text{Total sum of Bottles produced}}{\text{ Total number of years}}=\frac{320}{6}$ = 54.16 lakh bottles
Total production of flavour R = 45 + 50 + 60 + 60 + 45 + 40 = 300 lakh bottles
The average annual production of Health Juice R
$=\frac{\text{Total sum of Bottles produced}}{\text{ Total number of years}}=\frac{300}{6}=$ 50 lakh bottles
The average annual production of Q flavour was the maximum.
Hence, the correct answer is Q only.
