Foreign Exchange Reserves Of a Country. (in million US $)
1.
The ratio of the number of years, in which the foreign exchange reserves are above the average reserves, to those in which the reserves are below the average reserves is?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Average foreign exchange reserves over the given period = 3480 million US $.
The country had reserves above 3480 million US $ during the years 1992-93, 1996-97 and 1997-98, i.e., for 3 years and below 3480 million US $ during the years 1991-92, 1993-94, 1994-95, 1995-56 and 1998-99 i.e., for 5 years.

Usually, we will find the average by adding all elements and divide by the number of elements, by doing so we got 3480.
Then, check-in table to below this average and above average you will get below in 5 years and above in 3 years.

@Rinchen Kinley that's is the formula! for taking the average and that's what they did! the sum of all the data by a number of observations.

Please tell how to visually look at the average?

To find the average we have to find the sum of all the data and then divide it by the number of data, but here we don't calculate the average like this. We just take the sum of all the data.
Can someone help me why it is so?
