    Solution

    ATQ,

    Sum of incomes of ‘U’, ‘V’ and ‘W’ = 18000 × 3 = Rs. 54,000

    Income of ‘U’ = 54000 × (2/10) = Rs. 10,800

    Income of ‘V’ = 54000 × (3/10) = Rs. 16,200

    Income of ‘W’ = 54000 × (5/10) = Rs. 27,000

    Expense of ‘U’ = 10800 × 0.45 = Rs. 4,860

    Expense of ‘V’ = 16200 × 0.55 = Rs. 8,910

    Expense of ‘W’ = 27000 × 0.65 = Rs. 17,550

    Therefore, required average = (4860 + 8910 + 17550) ÷ 3 = Rs. 10,440
