The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
We are given the total value added across all sectors and the number of firms in the joint sector. To find the average value added per factory, we use the formula:
\[
\text{Average Value Added/Factory} = \frac{\text{Total Value Added}}{\text{Number of Firms in Joint Sector}} = \frac{140,000}{2700} = 14.1
\]
