    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Number of students who score more than 90% = class – interval 45 – 50 = 10

    Correct Option: A

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Number of students who score more than 90% = class – interval 45 – 50 = 10
    Therefore , correct answer is option A.

    From the given above histogram , we can see
    Total students ⇒ 135
    Successful students ⇒ 20 + 40 + 50 + 10 = 120

    ∴ Required percent =
    120
    × 100
    35


    Correct Option: D

    From the given above histogram , we can see
    Total students ⇒ 135
    Successful students ⇒ 20 + 40 + 50 + 10 = 120

    ∴ Required percent =
    120
    × 100
    35

    Required percent =
    800
    = 88

    From the given above histogram , we have
    Number of students in the class interval 25-30 = 15
    Number of students in the class interval 30-35 = 20
    Number of students in the class interval 35-40 = 40
    Number of students in the class interval 40-45 = 50
    Number of students in the class interval 45-50 = 10

    Correct Option: D

    From the given above histogram , we have
    Number of students in the class interval 25-30 = 15
    Number of students in the class interval 30-35 = 20
    Number of students in the class interval 35-40 = 40
    Number of students in the class interval 40-45 = 50
    Number of students in the class interval 45-50 = 10
    Total students in the class ⇒ 15 + 20 + 40 + 50 + 10 = 135

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Number of workers who earn between Rs. 950 to Rs.960 = 10
    Total number of workers surveyed = 3 + 2 + 4 + 9 + 5 + 10 + 5 + 3 + 3 + 5 = 49

    Required percentage =
    Number of workers who earn between Rs. 950 to Rs.960
    × 100 %
    Total number of workers surveyed

    Correct Option: B

    On the basis of given graph in question ,
    Number of workers who earn between Rs. 950 to Rs.960 = 10
    Total number of workers surveyed = 3 + 2 + 4 + 9 + 5 + 10 + 5 + 3 + 3 + 5 = 49

    Required percentage =
    Number of workers who earn between Rs. 950 to Rs.960
