950                                                                   2

Total no. of workers                                         15

(i) Number of workers getting less than Rs 850 per week are,

Number of workers getting Rs 750 = 3 workers

Number of workers getting Rs 800 = 4 workers

Hence, workers getting less than Rs 850 = 4 + 3

= 7 workers

Therefore, 7 workers are getting less than Rs 850 per week

(ii) Number of workers getting more than Rs 800 per week are,

Number of workers getting Rs 850 = 3

Number of workers getting Rs 900 = 3

Number of workers getting Rs 950 = 2

So, number of workers getting more than Rs 800 = 3 + 3 + 2

= 8 workers

Therefore, 8 workers are getting more than Rs 800 per week
