    Question

    Average salary of 25 employees is ₹40,000. Two new

    employees with salaries (p + 9000) and (p - 3000) join, and the average becomes ₹41,000. Find (p - 20,000).
    A 28,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 30,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 30,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 31,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    27 × 41,000 − 25 × 40,000 = p + 9000 + p − 3000
    2p + 6000 = 1,107,000 − 1,000,000 = 107,000
    2p = 101,000
    p = 50,500
    p − 20,000 = 30,500
