Correct Answer: 15


Solution : Let the total number of employees as E and the number of non-technician employees as N.
The total salary paid to all employees is E × 10000. The total salary paid to the technicians is 10 × 8000, and the total salary paid to the non-technicians is N × 14000.
Since the total salary paid to all employees is the sum of the total salaries paid to the technicians and non-technicians.
⇒ E × 10000 = 10 × 8000 + N × 14000
Given that the number of non-technician employees is (E – 10).
So, E × 10000 = 10 × 8000 + (E – 10) × 14000
⇒ 4000 × E = 60000
⇒ E = 15
Hence, the correct answer is 15.
