The average monthly income of A and B is ₹3,590. The average monthly income of B and C is ₹4,250. The average monthly income of A and C is ₹6,500. What is the monthly income of C?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. ₹7,160.

Sum of the income of A and B = 2 × 3590 = ₹7180

Sum of the income of B and C = 2 × 4250 = ₹8500

Sum of the income of C and A = 2 × 6500 = ₹13000

2(A + B + C) = 7180 + 8500 + 13000 = ₹28680

A + B + C = ₹14340

Income of C = 14340 - 7180 = ₹7160
