    Solution

    Total salary of total 30 employees = 30×40,000 = 12,00,000 Total salary of 25 employees in these employees = 20×35,000 + 5×50,000 = 7,00,000 + 2,50,000 = 9,50,000 Remaining salary of 5 employees = 12,00,000 – 9,50,000 = 2,50,000 When a new employee is hired then total salary of 6 employees = 2,50,000 + 80,000 = 3,30,000 Average salary of remaining 6 employees = 3,30,000/6 = 55,000
