For the year 2005, which company has realised the lowest average unit sales price for a PC ?
Answer: Option

Although it seems to be Commodore, the answer cannot be determined due to the fact that we are unaware of the break-up of the sales value and volume of companies compromising the other categories.

Here volume and value of "Other" category is shown. But "OTHER" section may consist of computers of different company and different value. So we can't find out value of individual unit of "OTHER" section.

Do not understand why it cannot be determined? Price of a single unit can be easily determined and compare.

Read the question twice because, it is questioning about lowest average unit sale.

@ All.
The procedure for finding a single unit sales value is to VALUE by VOLUME.
But as others section is unknown (it can be anything) we might have the lowest value from any of those companies hence commodore can't be concluded as the lowest.

I think as question 4 we can find the avg unit sales value for each company then we can compare them which one is lowest. Am I right?

I agree with @Shital.
Because in order to calculate anything so precise such as lowest average unit, we need to have full information about the entire set, which, in this case, do not have.
