A.

Rs. 675

B.

Rs. 525

C.

Rs. 475

D.

Rs. 325

Correct option is C

Given:
Average income of 5 persons = Rs. 550
Average income of 15 persons = Rs. 450
Formula Used:
Average income=Total IncomeNumber of Persons\text{Average income} = \frac{\text{Total Income}}{\text{Number of Persons}}​​
Total income = Number of persons × Average income
Solution:
Total income of 5 persons = 5 × 550 = Rs. 2750
Total income of 15 persons = 15 × 450 = Rs. 6750
Total income of the group = 2750 + 6750 = Rs. 9500
Total persons = 5 + 15 = 20
Average income = 950020\frac{9500}{20}​ = Rs. 475
Thus, the average income of the whole group is Rs. 475.
