Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
To find out which option is correct, let's calculate the required sales for the sixth month:

Rs1,48,500 + Rs2,00,000 + Rs1,64,000 + Rs1,88,600 + Rs2,40,400 = Rs9,41,500
- Calculate total sales needed for 6 months to average Rs1,88,300:
6 months * Rs1,88,300 = Rs11,29,800
- Sales needed for the 6th month:
Rs11,29,800 - Rs9,41,500 = Rs1,88,300
- Check options:
- Option 1: Rs2,00,500
- Option 2: Rs1,88,300
- Option 3: Rs1,64,000
- Option 4: Rs1,90,020
