The following table shows the number of candidates interviewed by five Indian Banks on six different working days from Monday to Saturday. Some values (marked as '-') are missing in the table which you are expected to calculate if required. Based on the data in the table, answer the questions. Day-wise Interview of Candidates by Banks Day Number of candidates Interviewed by PNB BOI IDBI SBI BOB Monday 34 36 46 50 36 Tuesday 42 - 28 56 50 Wednesday 46 44 46 - 36 Thursday - 28 24 46 36 Friday 20 20 - 30 44 Saturday 34 52 40 40 48 Total Interviewed 224 218 216 246 250
What is the average of the total number of candidates interviewed by BOB and BOI from Monday to Friday?
Step 1: Finding the Missing Values for BOI and BOB
First, we need to fill in the blanks using the total number of interviews given in the table.
1. Tuesday's value for BOI:
Total = 218
Sum of known days (Monday + Wednesday + Thursday + Friday + Saturday) = $36 + 44 + 28 + 20 + 52 = 180$
Tuesday's value = $218 - 180 = 38$
2. All values for BOB are already given:
Monday = 36, Tuesday = 50, Wednesday = 36, Thursday = 36, Friday = 44, Saturday = 48 (Total = 250)
Step 2: Finding the Total Sum from Monday to Friday
According to the question, we only need to consider the data from Monday to Friday (excluding Saturday).
1. For BOI (Monday to Friday):
Sum = $36 (\text{Mon}) + 38 (\text{Tue}) + 44 (\text{Wed}) + 28 (\text{Thu}) + 20 (\text{Fri}) = 166$
2. For BOB (Monday to Friday):
Sum = $36 (\text{Mon}) + 50 (\text{Tue}) + 36 (\text{Wed}) + 36 (\text{Thu}) + 44 (\text{Fri}) = 202$
Total Sum of both banks:
Total Sum = $166 + 202 = 368$
Step 3: Finding the Average
Since two banks (BOB and BOI) are considered here, we divide the total sum by 2 to find the average:
$$\text{Average} = \frac{368}{2} = 184$$
Correct Answer:
Option 3 (184)
