A 115 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 85 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

As men and women are equal so , there are 5 women and 5 men so, total consumption will be 70 × 5 = 350 (by men) and 45 × 5 = 225 (by women)
Total consumption = 575 kg
But after including a woman the average consumption for 11 people is given to be 60.
So the total consumption will be 60 × 11 = 660 kg
So, woman’s consumption will be = 660 – 575 = 85 kg
