    B 880000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    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
