Correct Answer: INR 80 lakhs


Solution : Use the formula, $\text{Average}=\frac{\text{Sum of all the values}}{\text{The total values}}$.
The average amount invested in purchasing raw materials from 2012 to 2017 $=\frac{140+250+350+325+525+450}{6}$.
$=\frac{2040}{6}=$ INR 340 lakhs
The average value of sales of finished goods during the same period from 2012 to 2017 $=\frac{220+300+475+400+600+525}{6}$.
$=\frac{2520}{6}=$ INR 420 lakhs
The difference between the average amount invested in purchasing raw materials from 2012 to 2017 and the average value of sales of finished goods during the same period from 2012 to 2017
= 420 – 340 = INR 80 lakhs.
Hence, the correct answer is INR 80 lakhs.
