Answer

Total basic monthly salary bill of all the offices taken together
is Rs 159625.

Explanation

Lets us use the symbols Div, Dis, Tal for division, district,
taluka respectively and O, H, C, Cl , T and P for office
superintendent, Head clerk, Cashier, Clerk, Typist and Peon
respectively.
Then the number of offices can be arranged as elements of a
row matrix A and the composition of staffin various offices
can be areanged in a `3xx6` matrix B (say).
`{:(Div, Dis, Tal):}`
`therefore A = [[5,30,200]]`
and` B=[[1,1,1,2+1,1,1+1],[0,1,1,1+1,0,1+1],[0,1,1,1,0,1]]`
or `B= [[1,1,1,3,1,2],[0,1,1,2,0,2],[0,1,1,1,0,1]]`
The basic monthly salarise of various types of employees of
these offies correspond to the elements of the column matrix
C.
`thereforeC={:[O],[H],[C],[Cl],[T],[P]:}[[500],[200],[175],[150],[150],[100]]`
The total basic monthly salary bill of all the offices taken
together
`= A BC = A(BC)`
`= [ (5,30,200)]xx[[1675],[875],[625]]`
`[5xx1675+30xx865+200xx625]`
`= [159625]`
Hence, total basic monthly salary bill of all the offices
taken together is Rs 159625.
