The average salary of all staff of a school is ₹10000. The average salary of 20 teaching staff is ₹12000 and that of non-teaching staff is ₹5000. The number of non-teaching staff will be : |
16 8 24 12 |
8 |
The average salary of all staff of a school = ₹10,000 Let Number of non-teaching staff = n ∴ 20 × 12000 + n × 5000 = (n + 20) × 10000 ⇒ 240000 + 5000n = (n + 20) × 10000 ⇒ 240 + 5n = (n + 20) × 10 ⇒ 10n – 5n = 240 – 200 ⇒ 5n = 40 ⇒ n = \(\frac{40}{5}\) = 8 |
