Solution
(a) Number of households whose monthly expenditure on food is less than Rs 2000
= 20 + 13 = 33
(b) Number of households whose monthly expenditure on food is more than Rs 3000
= 2 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 1 = 6
(c) Number of households whose monthly expenditure on food is between Rs 1500 and Rs 2500
= 13 + 6 = 19
