The total monthly salary of 4 men and 2 women is ₹ 46,000. If a woman earns ₹ 500 more than a man, what is the monthly salary of a woman?
(a)₹ 6500
(b)₹ 7500
(c)₹ 8000
(d)₹ 9000
Answer
Answer (as printed): C
Explanation
Let the monthly salary of a man be ₹ $x$. Then, monthly salary of a woman $=₹(x+500)$. $\therefore \quad 4 x+2(x+500)=46000 \Leftrightarrow 6 x=45000 \Leftrightarrow x=7500$. Monthly salary of a woman $=x+500=₹ 8000$.
