Solution

The correct option is B Rs.3000
We know, average is the sum of the data values divided by the total number of data values.
Given that, one clerk get a salary of 2500 rupees.
Therefore, 20 clerks get a salary of 20×2500=50000 rupees.
Also, one officer get a salary of 4000 rupees.
Therefore, 10 officers get a salary of 10×4000=40000 rupees.

Therefore, average salary =50000+4000020+10=9000030=3000 rupees.

Hence, option B is correct.
