The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's denote the daily incomes of A, B, and C as follows: - Let C's income be \( C \). - Since B earns ₹20 more than C, B's income can be expressed as \( B = C + 20 \). - A earns double what C earns, so A's income can be expressed as \( A = 2C \). ### Step 1: Set up the equation for the average income The average income of A, B, and C is given as ₹60. The formula for average is: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{A + B + C}{3} \] Substituting the known values into the equation: \[ \frac{A + B + C}{3} = 60 \] Multiplying both sides by 3 gives: \[ A + B + C = 180 \] ### Step 2: Substitute the expressions for A and B Now, substitute \( A = 2C \) and \( B = C + 20 \) into the equation: \[ 2C + (C + 20) + C = 180 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Combine like terms: \[ 2C + C + 20 + C = 180 \] \[ 4C + 20 = 180 \] ### Step 4: Solve for C Now, isolate \( C \) by subtracting 20 from both sides: \[ 4C = 180 - 20 \] \[ 4C = 160 \] Now, divide both sides by 4: \[ C = \frac{160}{4} = 40 \] ### Conclusion The daily income of C is ₹40. ---
