Explanation

A: Salary 52000, Other = 0+5500+3500+5000 = 14000. 52000 > 4*14000 (56000) is False. B: Salary 48500, Other = 0+4500+3000+3000 = 10500. 48500 > 4*10500 (42000) is True. C: Salary 42000, Other = 1500+4000+2500+2000 = 10000. 42000 > 4*10000 (40000) is True. D: Salary 31000, Other = 2500+3000+2000+1500 = 9000. 31000 > 4*9000 (36000) is False. E: Salary 25000, Other = 3200+1500+2000+0 = 6700. 25000 > 4*6700 (26800) is False. Only B and C satisfy.
