The table shows the daily income of 50 persons. Study the table and answer the question. Income (Rs.) No. of persons less than 200 12 less than 250 26 less than 300 34 less than 350 40 less than 400 50 What is the ratio of the number of persons earning less than Rs. 200 to the number of persons earning Rs. 300 or more? Correct Answer 3 : 4

No. of persons earn less than Rs 200 = 12

No. of persons earn Rs 300 of more = 50 - 34 = 16

So, ratio = 12 : 16

⇒ 3 : 4

∴ Required ratio is 3 : 4

Key Points

Income (Rs.) No. of persons
0 - 200 12
200 - 250 14
250 - 300 08
300 - 350 06
350 - 400 10

 

The above-mentioned table is the crux of the given table in the question. Now from the above table, we can say that the number of persons in the income ranging less than 200 is 12 and the number of persons earning Rs 300 or more is 16 i.e. (06 + 10)

Hence, the desired ratio is:- 12 : 16 = 3 : 4
