      C 835 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 765 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

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