    Solution

    ATQ,

    Sum of incomes of ‘X’, ‘Y’ and ‘Z’ = 12000 × 3 = Rs. 36,000

    So, income of ‘X’ = 36000 × (3/12) = Rs. 9,000

    Income of ‘Y’ = 36000 × (4/12) = Rs. 12,000

    Income of ‘Z’ = 36000 × (5/12) = Rs. 15,000

    Expense of ‘X’ = 9000 × 0.6 = Rs. 5,400

    Expense of ‘Y’ = 12000 × 0.5 = Rs. 6,000

    Expense of ‘Z’ = 15000 × 0.7 = Rs. 10,500

    Therefore, required average = (5400 + 6000 + 10500) ÷ 3 = Rs. 7,300
