    Solution

    Total wage of 25 labourers in the initial group = 25 ├Ч 470 = Rs. 11750 New average wage of the group = 470 + 46 = Rs. 516 New number of labourers in the group = 25 тАУ 4 + 2 = 23 So, according to the question, 11750 тАУ 4 ├Ч 350 + 2K = 516 ├Ч 23 Or, 11750 тАУ 1400 + 2K = 11868 Or, 10350 + 2K = 11868 Or, 2K = 11868 тАУ 10350 = 1518 Or, K = (1518/2) = 759
