There are limited number of employees considered for transfer/promotion across departments. Whenever a person is transferred/promoted from a department of lower average age to a department of higher average age, he/she will get an additional allowance of 10% of basic pay over and above his/her current allowance. There will not be any change in pay structure if a person is transferred/promoted from a department with higher average age to a department with lower average age.

If two employees (each with a basic pay of Rs. $6000)$ are transferred from Maintenance department to HR department. and one person (with a basic pay of Rs. $8000)$ was transferred from Marketing department to HR department, what will be the percentage change in average basic pay of HR department?

  1. $10.5\%$
  2. $12.5\%$
  3. $15\%$
  4. $30\%$
  5. $40\%$
