Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
Required average
$$\eqalign{ & = \left( {\frac{{32 \times 14 + 28 \times 13}}{{32 + 28}}} \right) \cr & = \left( {\frac{{448 + 364}}{{60}}} \right) \cr & = \left( {\frac{{812}}{{60}}} \right) \cr & = 13.53 \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{ & = \left( {\frac{{32 \times 14 + 28 \times 13}}{{32 + 28}}} \right) \cr & = \left( {\frac{{448 + 364}}{{60}}} \right) \cr & = \left( {\frac{{812}}{{60}}} \right) \cr & = 13.53 \cr} $$
