Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
Required mean
$$\eqalign{ & = \left( {\frac{{60 \times 5 + 30 \times 10 + 20 \times 15}}{{5 + 10 + 15}}} \right) \cr & = \left( {\frac{{300 + 300 + 300}}{{30}}} \right) \cr & = \left( {\frac{{900}}{{30}}} \right) \cr & = 30 \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{ & = \left( {\frac{{60 \times 5 + 30 \times 10 + 20 \times 15}}{{5 + 10 + 15}}} \right) \cr & = \left( {\frac{{300 + 300 + 300}}{{30}}} \right) \cr & = \left( {\frac{{900}}{{30}}} \right) \cr & = 30 \cr} $$
