- AAt two of the four counters the farmers brought the same amount each on average, and that amount was the highest of the four averages
- BEvery farmer at counter 2 brought more wheat than every farmer at counter 1
- CThe counter with the fewest farmers took in the least wheat
- DCounter 4 had fewer farmers than any of the other counters
Step-by-Step Solution
The averages are 6, 7, 7 and 5 quintals, so counters 2 and 3 share the top figure of 7. An average tells nothing about individual farmers, so the second option cannot be drawn. Counter 2 had the fewest farmers at 22 but counter 4 took in the least wheat at 120 quintals, so the third fails, and counter 4 has 24 farmers against counter 2's 22, so the fourth fails too.
Answer: A) At two of the four counters the farmers brought the same amount each on average, and that amount was the highest of the four averages
