What is the percentage of persons earning Rs. 250 or more?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 48.
Number of people who earn less than 200 = 12
Number of people who earn more than 200 and less than 250 = 26 - 12 = 14.
Number of people who earn more than 250 and less than 300 = 34 - 26 = 8.
Number of people who earn more than 300 and less than 350 = 40 - 34 = 6.
Number of people who earn more than 350 and less than 400 = 50 - 40 = 10.
Total number of people who earns more than 250 = 8 + 6 10 = 24
Total number of student = 12 + 14 + 8 + 6 + 10 = 50
Required % = 24/50 × 100 = 48%.
