Solution

The correct option is A 420

The total salary amount = 15 × 600 = 9000

The salary of the exiting manager = 720

Therefore, the salary of 12 workers and the remaining 2 managers,

= 9000 − 720 = 8280

When a new manager joins, the new average salary drops to Rs. 580 for the total team of 15 of them

The total salary for the 15 people i.e., 12 workers, 2 old managers and 1 new manager =580 × 15 = 8700

Therefore, the salary of the new manager is,

9000 - 8700 = 300 less than that of the old manager who left the company, which is equal to 720 - 300 = 420
