Total books published by P, Q & R = 31200 + 33800 + 35700 = 100700

Books are increased by 30%

=> Number of books published by P, Q & R = $$100700 + \frac{30}{100} * 100700 = 130910$$

Similarly, books published by remaining publishers

= $$(28200 + 32200 + 29700 + 37800) * \frac{80}{100} = 102320$$

$$\therefore$$ Required Average = $$\frac{130910 + 102320}{7} = 33318$$
