Option B

21250

Solution :

Correct Option: 21250

To find the average number of shares from 2001 to 2006, we first need to determine the number of shares for each year using the details from the bar charts and the given conditions.

Step 1: Extract the number of shares for known years from the "Total shares" chart:
- Total shares in 2001 = 10,000
- Total shares in 2003 = 30,000
- Total shares in 2005 = 25,000

Step 2: Calculate the number of shares in 2002:
According to Note (ii), the number of shares increased by 20% from 2001 to 2002.

Shares in 2002=10000×(1+20100)=10000×1.20=12000

Step 3: Calculate the number of shares in 2006:
According to Note (iii), the number of shares decreased by 10% from 2005 to 2006.

Shares in 2006=25000×(1-10100)=25000×0.90=22500

Step 4: Calculate the number of shares in 2004:
First, find the average number of shares in 2003 and 2006:

Average shares (2003 and 2006)=30000+225002=525002=26250

The total number of shares in 2004 is 1750 more than this average:

Shares in 2004=26250+1750=28000

Step 5: Calculate the average number of shares from 2001 to 2006:
Sum of shares from 2001 to 2006:

Sum=10000+12000+30000+28000+25000+22500=127500

Now, find the average over the 6 years:

Average=1275006=21250
