Solution
(i) In Fig 24.8, the highest rectangle corresponds to the largest number of workers. The required interval is Rs 950-1000. There are 8 workers in this interval.
(ii) The lowest rectangle corresponds to the least number of workers. The required interval is Rs 900-950. There are 2 workers in this interval.
(iii) The total number of workers is the sum of workers in all the intervals. It can be calculated as follows:
Total workers = 3 + 7 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 8 + 6 + 5 = 40 workers
(iv) The factory intervals are 750-800, 800-850, .. 1050-100. Hence, the factory size is 50.
