Options:
A .  21
B .  22
C .  23
D .  24
Answer: Option A

Answer : Option A

Explanation :

Let the number of workers = x
Given that average salary of all the workers = Rs.8000
then total salary of all workers = 8000x
Given that average salary of 7 technicians is Rs.12000
$MF#%\text{=> Total salary of 7 technicians = }7 \times 12000 = 84000$MF#%
Number of the rest of the employees = (x - 7)
Average salary of the rest of the employees = Rs.6000
Total salary of the rest of the employees = (x - 7)(6000)
8000x = 84000 + (x - 7)(6000)
=> 8x = 84 + (x - 7)(6)
=> 8x = 84 + 6x - 42
=> 2x = 42
$MF#%=> x = \dfrac{42}{2} = 21$MF#%
