Q2. A mobile phone shop is closed on Tuesday. The average daily sales for the remaining six days is ₹1564, and the average sales from Wednesday to Sunday is ₹1412.4. What are the sales on Monday?

1. 2232
2. 2792
3. 2322
4. 2342

Answer: 2322

The total sales for the six open days are $6 \times 1564 = 9384$. The total sales from Wednesday to Sunday are $5 \times 1412.4 = 7062$. So Monday sales are $9384 - 7062 = 2322$.
