How come 1946.6?

While adding all five deficit. It comes -2588.5. (2588.2/5)=517.7. Its near to India.

Anyone explain me?

For me, I got 1534. while adding all the deficit of the middle five countries in which is divided by 5 and got the answer 306.86(1534. 3/5=306.86) and I considered it as nearest to Korea. Please correct me, if I am wrong.

First, know the deficit meaning is too small in bar chart below zero are deficit. Total deficit countries are 13. They asked the middle 5 deficit countries. I am dividing 13 into 4+5+4. The middle one is 5.

Those five deficit countries are India, New Zealand, South Africa, Korea and Namibia(Average of 5 deficit countries is 514.1+505.3+425.7+366.6+134.9=1946.6

The average of middle five deficit countries is = 1946.6/5 = 389.32 This is nearest to Korea. So option A is correct

The middle five deficit countries are:

Nigeria = 776.8
India = 514.1
New Zealand = 505.3
South Africa = 425.7
Korea = 366.6

Their total deficit is given as 2588.5 crores.

So, the average deficit is: =517.7 crores

Now compare this with the options:

Korea = 366.6 → Difference = 151.1
South Africa = 425.7 → Difference = 92.0
UAE = +427.7 (This is a surplus, not a deficit.)

The deficit closest to 517.7 is actually India (514.1), but India is not among the options.

And the Correct Answer: None of these
