    A 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 142 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 177 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 165 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 40 × 5 = 200 (by men) and 35 × 5 = 175 (by women)
    Total consumption = 375 kg
    But after including a woman the average consumption for 11 people is given to be 45.
    So the total consumption will be 45 × 11 = 495 kg
    So, woman’s consumption will be = 495 – 375 = 120 kg
