Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ₹40,000.
Sum of salaries of 30 employees = 30 × 50000 = 1500000
Sum of salaries of 10 senior staff = 10 × 70000 = 700000
Salary of remaining employees = 1500000 - 700000 = 800000
Required average = 800000/20 = 40000
