Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

First, calculate the total salary for each group. Executive officers: 5 × ₹2,50,000 = ₹12,50,000. Senior Staff: 15 × ₹80,000 = ₹12,00,000. Junior Staff: 20 × ₹45,000 = ₹9,00,000.

Next, find the total salary of all employees: ₹12,50,000 + ₹12,00,000 + ₹9,00,000 = ₹33,50,000.

Finally, divide by the total number of employees to find the average: ₹33,50,000 ÷ 40 = ₹83,750.
