  • Question
  • The average salary of the entire staff in an office is ? 200 per day. The average salary of officers is ? 550 and that of non officers is ? 120. If the number of officers is 16, then find the number of non officers in the office.


  • Options
  • A. 72
  • B. 60
  • C. 70
  • D. 65

  • Correct Answer
  • 70 

    Explanation

    Let the number of non-officers be y.

    Then number of entire staff = 16 + y

    Sum of total salary = 200(16 + y)
    =16 x 550 + 120y
    ? 120y + 550 x 16 = 200x16 + 200y
    ? 3y +220 = 80 + 5y
    ? 2y = 140
    ? y = 140/2 = 70
