    B 24440 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 29390 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 27200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Total salary of all the five persons = 30000 × 3 + 25000 × 2 = Rs. 140000

    Average salary of each person = 140000 ÷ 5 = Rs. 28000

    Savings of A = 40% of 28000 = Rs. 11200

    So, required salary of A = 11200 + 16000 = Rs. 27200
