Explanatory Answer

Method of solving this CAT Question from Ratio, Mixtures and Averages: How the individual data points affect the average?

Deficit in each of the previous 11 months is $500, Sambhunath has to account for this in addition to $6,000 in the last month to have an average salary of $6,000 in the year.
So, he has to earn: 500 * 11 + 6000 = 11,500 to have an average salary of $6,000 for the year.

The question is "What should be his earning on the last month in order for his foreign visit to make sense?"

Hence, the answer is "11,500".

Choice B is the correct answer.
