4.Average
hard
The average salary of all the staff in an office of a corporate house is $Rs.\, 5,000$. The average salary of the officers is $Rs.\,14,000$ and that of the rest is $Rs.\,4,000.$ If the total number of staff is $500,$ the number of officers ?
A
$10$
B
$15$
C
$25$
D
$50$
Solution
Let the number of officers be $x,$ then number of the rest officials $=500-x$
Now, according to the question,
$x \times 14000+(500-x) 4000=5000 \times 500$
$\Rightarrow \quad x \times 14+(500-x) 4=5 \times 500$
$\Rightarrow 14 x+2000-4 x=2500$
$\Rightarrow 10 x=2500-2000=500$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{500}{10}=50$
