Correct Answer: (1)

Solution: (1)

Ratio of total wages of all employees of grades A, B and C

$=10 \times 6: 12 \times 8: 10 \times 8$

$=60: 96: 80$

$=15: 24: 20$

Total wages of all employees of grade B $=\operatorname{Rs}(60 \times 1600)$ $=$ Rs. 96000

$\because 24$ units $=$ Rs. 96000

$\therefore 15$ units $= \frac{96000}{24} \times 15$ $=$ Rs. 60000
