    D 1731 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total wage of 49 labourers in the initial group = 49 Γ— 650 = Rs. 31850 New average wage of the group = 650 + 46 = Rs. 696 New number of labourers in the group = 49 – 4 + 2 = 47 So, according to the question, 31850 – 4 Γ— 500 + 2K = 696 Γ— 47 Or, 31850 – 2000 + 2K = 32712 Or, 29850 + 2K = 32712 Or, 2K = 32712 – 29850 = 2862 Or, K = (2862/2) = 1431
