Correct Answer: 105


Solution : From the pie chart, we know the percentage of students in each school.
The number of students studying in:
School K: 15% of 7000 = 1050 students
School L: 24% of 7000 = 1680 students
School M: 36% of 7000 = 2520 students
School N: 6% of 7000 = 420 students
The average number of students in schools K and L = $\frac{(1050 + 1680)}{2}$ = 1365
The average number of students in schools M and N = $\frac{(2520 + 420)}{2}$ = 1470
The difference between these averages = 1470 – 1365 = 105
Hence, the correct answer is 105.
