    B 24440 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 29390 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 22550 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Total salary of all the five persons = 27000 × 3 + 20000 × 2 = Rs. 121000

    Average salary of each person = 121000 ÷ 5 = Rs. 24200

    Savings of P = 45% of 24200 = Rs. 10890

    So, required salary of P = 10890 + 18500 = Rs. 29390
