Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 37.6%
The number of families whose monthly expenditures on education are Rs. 2500 or more but below Rs. 4000
= 47 + 55 + 70
= 172
And
The number of families whose monthly expenditures on education are Rs. 4500 or more but below Rs. 6000
= 52 + 43 + 30
= 125
Hence,
Required percentage = [(172 - 125)/125] × 100 = 37.6%
