    Solution

    Total wage of 20 labourers in the initial group = 20 ├Ч 450 = Rs. 9000 New average wage of the group = 450 + 45 = Rs. 495 New number of labourers in the group = 20 тАУ 4 + 2 = 18 So, according to the question, 9000 тАУ 4 ├Ч 500 + 2K = 495 ├Ч 18 Or, 9000 тАУ 2000 + 2K = 8910 Or, 7000 + 2K = 8910 Or, 2K = 8910 тАУ 7000 = 1910 Or, K = (1910/2) = 955
