• A. 70.8
• B. 699.4
• C. 245.4
• D. 69.4

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 69.4

There are 80 employees.

• Women = (35%) of 80 = (0.35 \times 80 = 28)

• Men = (80 - 28 = 52)

Total salary of women

$28 \times 72 = 2016$

(in ₹000)

Total salary of men

$52 \times 68 = 3536$

(in ₹000)

Total salary of all employees

2016 + 3536 = 5552

(in ₹000)

Overall average salary

$\frac{5552}{80} = 69.4$

✅ ₹69,400 per month.
