Options:

792

875

800

805

Correct Answer:

805

Explanation:

Total earning in the month Jan. = 31 x 925

Earning in first 20 Days ( 1st jan to 20 Jan) = 20 x 881 --------(A)

Earning in last 20 Days (12th Jan to 31st Jan)= 20 x 915 -------- (B)

(A) + (B) = 20 x (881 + 915)

As above, his total earning from 12th Jan to 31st Jan = 20 x (881 + 915) - 31 x 925 = 7245

Avg. of Ras Bihari's earning from 12th Jan to 31st Jan =  805
