The correct option is B.
The question asks for the average investment per year for the services sector during the given years. Assuming the “given years” include all years presented in the dataset associated with these questions (typically 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10, and 2010-11 Projected), the investments in the services sector are 380, 450, 520, 650, and 750 (in Rupees Hundred Crore) for these five years, respectively.
The total investment in the services sector over these 5 years is 380 + 450 + 520 + 650 + 750 = 2750. The average annual investment is the total investment divided by the number of years: 2750 / 5 = 550. This matches option B. If only the first four years (2006-07 to 2009-10) were considered, the average would be (380+450+520+650)/4 = 2000/4 = 500, which is not among the options. Therefore, it is most likely that the calculation includes the projected year 2010-11.
