      A 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 77 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      As men and women are equal so , there are 4 women and 4 men so, total consumption will be 50 × 4 = 200 (by men) and 35 × 4 = 140 (by women) Total consumption = 340 kg But after including a woman the average consumption for 9 people is given to be 45. So the total consumption will be 45 × 9 = 405 kg So, woman’s consumption will be = 405 – 340 = 65 kg
