Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Korea
Explanation:
The five middle deficit countries are India, New Zealand, South Africa, Korea and Namibia.
Sum of their deficits (magnitudes) = 514.1 + 505.3 + 425.7 + 366.6 + 134.9 = 1946.6 (Rs. crores).
Average deficit = 1946.6 / 5 = 389.32 (approximately).
India: 514.1 (difference from average ≈ 124.78)
New Zealand: 505.3 (difference ≈ 116.0)
South Africa: 425.7 (difference ≈ 36.38)
Korea: 366.6 (difference ≈ 22.72)
Namibia: 134.9 (difference ≈ 254.42)
Korea's deficit (366.6) has the smallest difference from the average (≈22.7), so the average of the middle five deficit is closest to Korea's deficit.
