The average price monthly salary of A, B and C is Rs.600 and that of B, C and D is Rs 750.
If D's salary is Rs 900 a month, find A's monthly salary?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are given

%28A+%2B+B+%2B+C%29%2F3 = 600,   (1)  (first condition)
%28B+%2B+C+%2B+D%29%2F3 = 750.   (2)  (second condition).

It is equivalent to

A + B + C     = 1800,  (3)
    B + C + D = 2250.  (4)

Distract (3) from (4). You will get

D - A = 450.

Then A = D - 450.

But we are given that D = 900.

Hence, A = 900 - 450 = 450.

Answer.   A's salary is Rs 450.
