The average salary of all the employees in a company is Rs.14,000. The average salary of 5 technicians is Rs.18,000 and the average salary of the rest is Rs.13,200. The total number of employees in the company is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let the number of employees be x
Total salary = 14000x
Total salary of 5 technicians = 18000 x 5 = 90000
Total salary of rest of the employees = 13200(x - 5) = 13200x - 66000
⇒ 14000x = 13200x - 66000 + 90000
⇒ 14000x - 13200x = 90000 - 66000
⇒ 800x = 24000
⇒ x = 30
The total number of workers in the factory is 30.
