Question

The average monthly salary of 21 workers and 4 managers in a factory was Rs. 800. When one of the managers whose salary was Rs. 1700, was replaced with a new manager, the average salary of the team went down to Rs. 770. What is the salary of the new manager?

• A. 1200
• B. 1050
• C. 1100
• D. 950

Answer 1

The correct option is D 950

Total salary of all the employees $=25\times 800=20000$
Total salary of employees when the old manager left and new one joined $=25\times 770=19250$
Salary of new manager = 1700 – (20000-19250) = 950
