SSC CGL - 16 Sep 2025 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q69

In a team of 80 employees, the average salary is ₹62,000. If 30 of them earn an average salary of ₹72,000, what is the average salary of the remaining employees?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ₹56,000.

Total salary = 80 × 62000 = 4960000

Total 30 employees's salary = 30 × 72000 = 2160000

Remaining 50 employees's salary = 4960000 – 2160000 = 2800000

Average = 2800000/50 = 56000
