      Solution

      ATQ,

      Sum of incomes of P, Q and R = 12500 × 3 = Rs. 37,500

      Income of P = 37500 × (6/25) = Rs. 9,000

      Income of Q = 37500 × (9/25) = Rs. 13,500

      Income of R = 37500 × (10/25) = Rs. 15,000

      Expense of P = 9000 × 0.6 = Rs. 5,400

      Expense of Q = 13500 × 0.5 = Rs. 6,750

      Expense of R = 15000 × 0.4 = Rs. 6,000

      Therefore, required average = (5400 + 6750 + 6000) ÷ 3 = Rs. 6,050
