    Solution

    ATQ,

    Sum of incomes of ‘X’, ‘Y’ and ‘Z’ = 15000 × 3 = Rs. 45,000

    Income of ‘X’ = 45000 × (5/20) = Rs. 11,250

    Income of ‘Y’ = 45000 × (6/20) = Rs. 13,500

    Income of ‘Z’ = 45000 × (9/20) = Rs. 20,250

    Expense of ‘X’ = 11250 × 0.4 = Rs. 4,500

    Expense of ‘Y’ = 13500 × 0.8 = Rs. 10,800

    Expense of ‘Z’ = 20250 × 0.6 = Rs. 12,150

    Therefore, required average = (4500 + 10800 + 12150) ÷ 3 = Rs. 9,150
