      C 890000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 870000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let number of members before joining = 'P'.

      Salary before = 52,000P

      (52000P + 70000) / (P + 1) = 53000
      => 52000P + 70000 = 53000P + 53000
      => P = 17

      Total salary = 52000 × 17 = ₹884,000
