  1. The average salary of all workers in a workshop is Rs.12000. The average salary of 7 technicians is Rs.15000 and the average salary of the rest is Rs. 9000. The total number of workers in the workshop is :
    1. 12
    2. 13
    3. 14
    4. 15
Correct Option: C

Let Total number of workers in the factory = n
Number of technicians = 7
Remaining workers = n – 7
According to the question,

7 × 15000 + (n - 7) × 9000
= 12000
n

⇒ 7 × 15 + 9n – 63 = 12n
⇒ 105 – 63 = 12n – 9n
⇒ 3n = 42
⇒ n =
42
3

∴ Total number of workers in the factory ( n ) = 14
