    Correct Option - 2


    Detailed Solution:

    (b)

    The total price of Guavas with Shweta is 5 * 28 = Rs. 140

    The total price of the 26 Guavas whose price is not known is 140 – (3 + 8) = Rs. 129.

    Assume that maximum number of Guavas with have price equal to Rs. 7

    129 = 8 * 7 + 1 * 5 + 17 * 4. Therefore, the number of Guavas with Shweta whose price is less than the average price of the Guavas with Shweta is at least 17 + 1 = 18.

Average

P

36 * 150 + 14 * 100 = 6800

136

Q

34 * 150 + 21 * 100 = 7200

131

R

23 * 150 + 36 * 100 = 6850

116

S

30 * 150 + 30 * 100 = 6000

100

Now we can see that the largest difference

= Maximum – Minimum = Rs. 7500 – Rs. 6800

= Rs. 700
