Model Answer
(A) ₹ 4,000
Average income = (₹2,000 + ₹5,000 + ₹3,000 + ₹6,000) ÷ 4 = ₹16,000 ÷ 4 = ₹4,000
Source: Development, Chapter 1, Income and Other Criteria
Explanation
Average (per capita) income is calculated by dividing the total income by the number of persons/families. Here, sum = ₹16,000 and number of families = 4, giving ₹4,000. Examiners expect the formula and calculation to be shown briefly, even in MCQs where working may be required.
