CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Required total: $180 \times 5 = 900$ tonnes.
The other four estates: $240 + 180 + 120 + 170 = 710$ tonnes.
Munnar must produce $900 - 710 = 190$ tonnes.

Worth noting

100 is how much more Munnar must produce, not its new output. 90 is Munnar's present output. 270 adds the target to Munnar's present output.

Concept: Target average gives a target total
