Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 12.5%

The total number of neon lamps lifetime of 800 or more hours = 1350

The total number of neon lamps having a lifetime of 400 or more hours but less than 800 hours = 225 + 260 + 340 + 375 = 1200 

Required % = (1350 - 1200)/1200 × 100 = 12.5%
