A grocer has a sale of Rs. 6435, Rs. 6927, Rs. 6855, Rs. 7230 and Rs. 6562 for 5 consecutive months. How much sale must he have in the sixth month so that he gets an average sale of Rs. 6500?
Rs. 4991
Rs. 5991
Rs. 6001
Rs. 6991
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Total sale for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009.

Required sale = Rs. [ (6500 x 6) - 34009 ]

   = Rs. (39000 - 34009)

   = Rs. 4991.

Assume that, 6th month is x.

6500 = (6435+6927+6855+7230+6562+x)/6.
So, x = 4991.

(6435+6927+6855+7230+6562+y)/6=6500
34009+y=6500*6
Y=39000-34009
Y=4991
