Correct Answer: 30


Solution : Let the number of employees be $x$
The total salary of all employees = $14000x$
Total salary of 5 technicians = 18000 × 5 = Rs. 90,000
Total salary of rest of the employees = 13200($x$ – 5) = (13200$x$ – 66000)
According to question
$14000x = 13200x - 66000 + 90000$
$⇒ 14000x - 13200x = 90000 - 66000$
$⇒ 800x = 24000$
$⇒ x = \frac{24000}{800} = 30$
∴ Total number of workers in the factory is 30.
Hence, the correct answer is 30.
