    Solution

    ATQ,

    Sum of incomes of ‘P’, ‘Q’ and ‘R’ = 12000 × 3 = Rs. 36,000

    Income of ‘P’ = 36000 × (6/25) = Rs. 8,640

    Income of ‘Q’ = 36000 × (9/25) = Rs. 12,960

    Income of ‘R’ = 36000 × (10/25) = Rs. 14,400

    Expense of ‘P’ = 8640 × 0.6 = Rs. 5,184

    Expense of ‘Q’ = 12960 × 0.7 = Rs. 9,072

    Expense of ‘R’ = 14400 × 0.5 = Rs. 7,200

    Therefore, required average = (5184 + 9072 + 7200) ÷ 3 = Rs. 7,152
