To find the required sale for the sixth month, we must determine the total sales needed for an average of Rs 10,500 over six months.

- Calculate the total required for six months:

10,500 \times 6 = 63,000

- Calculate the current total for five months:

10,435 + 9,927 + 10,855 + 10,230 + 9,562 = 51,009

- Determine the required sale for the sixth month:

63,000 - 51,009 = 11,991

- Compare with options:

- Option 1: 9,231

- Option 2: 8,231

- Option 3: 8,991

- Option 4: 11,991

The sixth-month sale must be Rs 11,991 to achieve an average of Rs 10,500 over six months.
