I don't understand how to answer this question. Can someone please explain the question response in more detail?

116. During a 6-day local trade show, the least number of people registered in a single day was 80. Was the average (arithmetic mean) number of people registered per day for the 6 days greater than 90?

(1) For the 4 days with the greatest number of people registered, the average (arithmetic mean) number registered per day was 100

(2) For the 3 days with the smallest number of people registered, the average (arithmetic mean) number registered per day was 85.

---

I answered the question as (E), but obviously the answer is wrong. The answer in the book sucks and doesn't help me understand it at all.

Could you shed light on how you'd solve this problem? The difficulty of this question? How long would a question like this take you to complete?
