Solution

Let us assume the family spends Rs. 100 each month for the first 3 months and then spends Rs. 50 in each of the next two months.

Then amount of onions bought = 10, 5, 4, 2, 1, for months 1-5 respectively.

Total amount bought = 22kg.

Total amount spent = 100+100+100+50+50 = 400.

Average expense = $$\frac{400}{22}=Rs.18.18\approx\ 18$$
