The average monthly salary of A, B, C and D is ₹ 27, 200 . A gets ₹ 800 more than B, B gets ₹ 600 more than C, and C gets ₹ 400 more than D. Find the monthly salary of A (in ₹).

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let the salary of D be x . * Salary of C = x + 400 * Salary of B = (x + 400) + 600 = x + 1000 * Salary of A = (x + 1000) + 800 = x + 1800 The total salary of all 4 people combined is: Total Salary = Average \times 4 = 27200 \times 4 = 108800 Summing up our expressions: A + B + C + D = 108800 (x + 1800) + (x + 1000) + (x + 400) + x = 108800 4 x + 3200 = 108800 4 x = 108800 - 3200 4 x = 105600 ⟹ x = \frac{105600}{4} = 26400 Now, find the monthly salary of A: Salary of A = x + 1800 = 26400 + 1800 = ₹ 28, 200
