B. 18,000

C. 13,500

D. 9,000

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & A + B + C = 12000 \times 3 \cr & B + C + D = 15000 \times 3 \cr & \to D - A = 3000 \times 3 = 9000 \cr & {\text{Also}},\,D = 2A \cr & {\text{Then}},\,D = 18000\,{\text{and}}\,A = 9000 \cr & {\text{Therefore}}, \cr & {\text{Average}}\,{\text{salary}}\,{\text{of}}\,B\,{\text{and}}\,C, \cr & = \frac{{ {45000 - 18000} }}{2} \cr & = 13500 \cr} $$
