There are five actors S, T, U, V and W in a play. The salary of S is Rs. 10000 and the salary of T is 25% less than the salary of U whose salary is 50% more than the salary of S. The salary of V is Rs. 20000 which is Rs. 6000 more than the salary of W. Average salary of three lowest paid actors is what percent of the average salary of the three highest paid actors? Correct Answer 71.93%

Given,

Salary of S = Rs. 10000

Let salary of T, U and W be Rs. T, Rs. U and Rs. W respectively.

Given,

⇒ U = 10000 + 10000 × 50/100

⇒ U = 15000

Salary of U = Rs. 15000

⇒ T = U - U × 25/100

⇒ T = 15000 - 15000 × 25/100

⇒ T = 11250

Salary of T = Rs. 11250

Given,

Salary of V = Rs. 20000

⇒ W = 20000 - 6000

⇒ W = 14000

Salary of W = Rs. 14000

Three highest paid actors from this five is W, U and V.

Average salary of three highest paid actors

= (14000 + 15000 + 20000)/3

= 49000/3

= 16333.33

Average salary of three lowest paid actors

= (10000 + 11250 + 14000)/3

= 35250/3

= 11750

Required percentage

= (11750/16333.33) × 100

= 71.93%
