  Here we apply the average because insured value is under insurance.i.e the insurance policy sum insured amount to70 is less than the actual value of the property100

           Accordingly the amount of claim payable should be calculated as follows :i

                        Average =            insured value /actual value 70/100 =70%

 

                                      claim payable =50 by70% =35

                                                                                  

 Thanking You
