I don't think, we have a shortcut method to solve this problem,
Is there anyone knows the short cut method to solve this problem, because why do need to do shortcut is for Banking exams we will be having less time, if we spend this time for one question, I don't think we can solve all the problems.

The method was correct because an average is calculated by summing the column values, and then dividing the sum by the number of values in the column.
The average can be referred to as the Mean Value.
