      A 90 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 77 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      As men and women are equal so , there are 6 women and 6 men so, total consumption will be 60 × 6 = 360 (by men) and 55 × 6 = 330 (by women)
      Total consumption = 690 kg
      But after including a woman the average consumption for 13 people is given to be 59.
      So the total consumption will be 59 × 13 = 767 kg
      So, woman’s consumption will be = 767 – 690 = 77 kg
