Correct Answer: 70.75


Solution : Average consumption per year of wheat = $\frac{162 + 196 + 187 + 189}{4}$ = $\frac{734}{4}$ = 183.5
Average consumption per year of oats = $\frac{131 + 116 + 103 + 101}{4}$ = $\frac{451}{4}$ = 112.75
$\therefore$ Difference = 183.5 – 112.75 = 70.75
Hence, the correct answer is 70.75.
