Answer 1

25900

Explanation:

According to the information given in the table, the average number of toy dolls manufactured by these six companies can be calculated as: 

`1/6 xx [(50 + 30 + 60 + 70 + 40 + 60)/100 xx 50000] = 25833`

∴ The number of toy dolls, cars and trucks manufactured by company V are 20000 dolls, 12000 cars and 18000 trucks.

Hence, 25900 is closest to this value.
