b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
​

Answer 1

Answer:

d

Explanation:

Average=sum of all scores/ no.of scores

We do not know how the values are distributed between the highest and lowest scores. Ex: (880,890,2100,2390) or (880,1999,2380,2390)

So, the average cannot be predicted.

(Mark 1 as the answer, if the question can be answered by using one of the statements alone but cannot be answered using the other statement alone.

• Mark 2 as the answer, if the question can be answered by using either statement alone.

• Mark 3 as the answer, if the question can be answered by using both statements together but cannot be answered using either statement alone.

• Mark 4 as the answer, if the question cannot be answered even by using both statements together.)
