6-B; In 2012, the average selling price of all 3 portable laptops was minimum as the selling price was the minimum.
7-D; Total selling price of 25000 HP laptops in 2013 = 25000 × 42000 = 105 crores
Total selling price of 24000 Lenovo laptops in 2013 = 24000 × 48000 = 115.2 crores
Therefore, required difference = 10.2 crores
8-C; The selling price of all the companies during 2011-2015 can be calculated as follows:
Selling price for Lenovo during 2011-15
= 45000 + 43000 + 48000 + 47000 + 46000 = 229000
Selling price for Asus 2011-15
= 50000 + 47000 + 45000 + 52000 + 40000 = 234000
