Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Answer: Rs. 4991

Explanation:

  1. Compute the sum of sales for the first five months: 6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562 = 34,009.

  2. Required total sales for six months to have an average of 6500 = 6500 × 6 = 39,000.

  3. Sixth-month sale needed = 39,000 − 34,009 = 4,991.

  4. Check: (34,009 + 4,991) ÷ 6 = 39,000 ÷ 6 = 6,500, so Rs. 4,991 is correct.
