Correct Answer: 12,500


Solution : Given,
Total = 50
Average salary of 35 faculty members = INR 37,500
⇒ Total salary of 35 faculty members = 37500 × 35
= INR 13,12,500
The average of all the 50 faculty members = INR 30,000
⇒ Total salary of 50 faculty members = 30000 × 50
= INR 15,00,000
So, the total salary of 15 faculty members = Total salary of 50 faculty members - Total salary of 35 faculty members
= INR 15,00,000 – INR 13,12,500
= INR 1,87,500
= Average = $\frac{187500}{15}$
= INR 12,500
Hence, the correct answer is 12,500.
