Solution

The correct option is A (i)Required number of posts in all the offices taken together are 5 office superintendents, 235 head clerks, 235 cashiers, 275 clerks, 5 typists and 270 peons.(ii)Total basic monthly salary bill of each divisional, district and taluka offices are Rs. 1675, Rs. 875 and Rs. 625 respectively(iii)Total basic monthly salary bill of all the offices taken together is Rs. 159,625
Let us use the symbols Dir,Div,Tal for division, district, taluka respectively and O,H,C,Cl,T and P for office superintendent, head clerk, cashier, clerk, typist and peon respectively.
Then the number of offices can be arranged as elements of a row matrix A and the composition of staff in various offices can be arranged in a 3×6 matrix B.
A=[DivDisTal530200]
And B=⎢ ⎢ ⎢OHCClTP1112+111+10111+101+1011101⎥ ⎥ ⎥=⎢ ⎢ ⎢OHCClTP111312011202011101⎥ ⎥ ⎥
The basic monthly salaries of various types of employees of these offices correspond to the elements of the column matrix C
C=OHCClTP⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢500200175150150100⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥
(i) Total number of Posts = AB
=[DivDisTal530200]×⎢ ⎢ ⎢OHCClTP111312011202011101⎥ ⎥ ⎥
=[OHCClTP52352352755270]
i.e. Required number of posts in all the offices taken together are 5 office superintendents, 235 head clerks, 235 cashiers, 275 clerks, 5 typists and 270 peons.
(ii) The total basic monthly salary bill of each kind of office = BC
=⎢ ⎢ ⎢OHCClTP111312011202011101⎥ ⎥ ⎥×⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢500200175150150100⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥OHCClTP
=500+200+175+3×150+1×150+2×1000+1×200+1×175+2×150+0+2×1000+1×200+1×175+1×150+0+1×100=1675875625
i.e. Total basic monthly salary bill of each divisional, district and taluka offices are Rs. 1675, Rs. 875 and Rs. 625 respectively.
(iii) The total basic monthly salary bill of all the offices taken together =ABC
=A(BC)=[530200]×1675875625
=[5×1675+30×875+200×625]=[159625]
i.e. Total basic monthly salary bill of all the offices taken together is Rs. 159,625.
