      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, New number of employees = 18 + 2 = 20 New average salary = 35000 - 1000 = 34000 20 Γ— 34000 - 18 Γ— 35000 = (n + 5000) + (n - 3000) Or, 20 Γ— 34000 - 18 Γ— 35000 = 2n + 2000 Or, 680000 - 630000 = 2n + 2000 Or, 50000 = 2n + 2000 Or, 2n = 48000 Or, n = 24000 Therefore, required value = n - 20000 = 24000 - 20000 = 4000
