first taking average = 45 + 55/ 2 = 50cm
65 + 55 / 2 = 60cm
Precipitation for the area of 100 square km between 45 cm and 55 cm and 150 square km between 55 cm and 65 cm
total rainfall = average * 100 = 50 * 100 = 5000 cm. km sqa and also total rainfall = 60 * 150 = 9000 cm. km sqa
total area = 250 km sqa
total rainfall = 9000 + 5000 = 14000 km sq. cm
average depth = total precipitation / Area = 14000 / 250 = 56cm

First of all take a average of areas given
45+55/2 =50
55+65/2 = 60
(50×100)+(60×150)/250 = 56cm

[(50*100) + (60*150)]/250 = 56 cm
