The given graph represents the number of workers getting daily wages (in ₹).

Total number of workers = 200

The total number of workers whose daily wages are less than ₹ 550 is what percentage less than the total number of workers whose daily wages are ₹ 550 and above?

विकल्प

• 50%

• 60%

• 40%

• 45%

Answer 1

40%

Explanation:

No. of workers whose daily wages are less than ₹ 550

= 20 + 25 + 30 = 75

No. of workers whose daily wages are ₹ 550 and above

= 25 + 40 + 60 = 125

So, No. of workers whose daily wages are less than ₹ 550 is less than the number of workers whose daily wages are ₹ 550 and above = 125 – 75 = 50 

∴ Percentage = `50/125 xx 100` = 40%
