Explanation:
The average number of candidates selected over the given period for various states are:
| For Delhi = | 94 + 48 + 82 + 90 + 70 | = | 384 | = 76.8. |
| 5 | 5 |
| For H.P. = | 82 + 65 + 70 + 86 + 75 | = | 378 | = 75.6. |
| 5 | 5 |
| For U.P. = | 78 + 85 + 48 + 70 + 80 | = | 361 | = 72.2. |
| 5 | 5 |
| For Punjab = | 85 + 70 + 65 + 84 + 60 | = | 364 | = 72.8. |
| 5 | 5 |
| For Haryana = | 75 + 75 + 55 + 60 + 75 | = | 340 | = 68. |
| 5 | 5 |
Clearly, this average is maximum for Delhi.

Since 5 as a denominator is the same for all four options, we can compare the no. Directly (384, 378, 361, 364) without dividing by 5.
We can see the highest is of Delhi i.e. 384. So is the answer Delhi.

As the total sum is high then the average is also high no need to divide with 5.
