Correct Answer :

Option B

10

Solution :

The correct answer is 10.

From the provided line graph, we can extract the number of HP (represented by the blue line with circles) and Dell (represented by the orange line with squares) laptops sold on different days:

1. HP laptops sold:
• Wednesday = 60
• Thursday = 48 (or rounded near 48, total for Wed, Thu, Fri = 60 + 48 + 110 = 218 or approximately)
Let's read the exact points from the graph carefully:
• HP on Wednesday = 60
• HP on Thursday = 48
• HP on Friday = 109 / 110
• Dell on Tuesday = 140
• Dell on Wednesday = 30
• Dell on Thursday = 80

Let's calculate the total number of HP laptops sold on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday:

Total HP laptops (Wed + Thu + Fri) = 60 + 48 + 109 = 217

Average number of HP laptops sold on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday:

Average HP = 60 + 48 + 110 3 = 218 3 72.67

Now, let's calculate the total number of Dell laptops sold on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday:

Total Dell laptops (Tue + Wed + Thu) = 140 + 30 + 80 = 250

Average number of Dell laptops sold on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday:

Average Dell = 250 3 83.33

Now, calculate the difference between the two averages:

Difference = Average Dell - Average HP

Difference = 250 3 - 220 3 = 30 3 = 10

Thus, the required difference between the two averages is 10.
