Correct Answer :

Option A

₹33,000

Solution :

The correct option is ₹33,000.

To find the average monthly income of the senior workers, we can calculate the total earnings of all workers and subtract the total earnings of the junior workers.

Step 1: Calculate the total monthly income of all 60 workers.
We are given that the total number of workers is 60 and their overall average monthly income is ₹28,000.

Total Income = Total Workers × Overall Average Income

Total Income = 60 × 28000 = ₹1,680,000

Step 2: Calculate the total monthly income of the junior workers.
There are 20 junior workers, and their average monthly income is ₹18,000.

Junior Workers' Total Income = 20 × 18000 = ₹360,000

Step 3: Determine the number of senior workers and their total monthly income.
The number of senior workers is:
60 - 20 = 40 senior workers
The total monthly income for the senior workers is:
Senior Workers' Total Income = ₹1,680,000 - ₹360,000 = ₹1,320,000

Step 4: Calculate the average monthly income for the senior workers.

Average Senior Income = Senior Workers' Total Income Number of Senior Workers

Average Senior Income = 1320000 40 = ₹33,000

Thus, the average monthly income for the senior workers is ₹33,000.
