Correct answer: (A) 6200

Explanation

The National Testing Agency dropped this item from evaluation, so no option is a settled key.

The question asks for the average number of copies distributed per city.

This average depends on the total distribution across all four newspapers.

That total includes the Newspaper Y City 1 value printed as 35000.

That anomalous figure distorts the total and the resulting average.

So the average cannot be computed reliably from the printed data.

For that reason the agency cancelled the question.
