The average monthly salary of employees, consisting of officers and workers, of an organisation is Rs. 3000. The average salary of an officer is Rs. 10,000 while that of a worker is Rs. 2000 per month. If there are total 400 employees in the organisation, find the number of officers.
Let the number of officers and workers be o and w respectively.
Σo/o = 10000
Σw/w = 2000
Σo + Σw /w + o = 3000
and w + o = 400 (1)
Solving, we get
10000o + 2000w = 3000w + 3000o
So, 7o = w
From equation 1, we get
8o = 400, o = 50
Number of officers = 50
