The average salary of the combined group is
\(n+(n-1)=2n+1\)
Now
\(\frac{32000*n+33000(n-1)}{n+(n-1)}\)
This average is more close to 32000 than 3000
The salary , in a nutshell, would be >32000 but < 32500
So B is the answer
PS: this is the concept of the weighted avergae
\(n+(n-1)=2n+1\)
Now
\(\frac{32000*n+33000(n-1)}{n+(n-1)}\)
This average is more close to 32000 than 3000
