      A 90 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      As men and women are equal so , there are 5 women and 5 men so, total consumption will be 65 × 5 = 325 (by men) and 45 × 5 = 225 (by women)
      Total consumption = 550 kg
      But after including a woman the average consumption for 11 people is given to be 55.
      So the total consumption will be 55 × 11 = 605 kg
      So, woman’s consumption will be = 605 – 550 = 55 kg
