    C 29920 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 22550 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Total salary of all the five persons = 22000 × 3 + 15000 × 2 = Rs. 96000

    Average salary of each person = 96000 ÷ 5 = Rs. 19200

    Savings of X = 60% of 19200 = Rs. 11520

    So, required salary of X = 11520 + 18400 = Rs. 29920
