    C Rs. 6,050 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    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
