    As per the given bar graph , we have
    Required amount = Number of worker × mean monthly wages
    Required amount = 3 × 1050 + 8 × 1150 + 5 × 1250 + 4 × 1350 + 9 × 1450 + 8 × 1550 + 6 × 1650 + 7 × 1750
    Required amount = 3150 + 9200 + 6250 + 5400 + 13050 + 12400 + 9900 + 12250

    Correct Option: B

    As per the given bar graph , we have
    Required amount = Number of worker × mean monthly wages
    Required amount = 3 × 1050 + 8 × 1150 + 5 × 1250 + 4 × 1350 + 9 × 1450 + 8 × 1550 + 6 × 1650 + 7 × 1750
    Required amount = 3150 + 9200 + 6250 + 5400 + 13050 + 12400 + 9900 + 12250 = ₹ 71600
    Hence , the total amount of money needed to pay the monthly wages of all the workers is ₹ 71600 .

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Number of workers placed in the lowest wage group 1000 - 1100 = 3
    Number of workers placed in the highest wage group 1700 - 1800 = 7
    Required ratio = Number of workers placed in the lowest wage group 1000 - 1100 : Number of workers placed in the highest wage group 1700 - 1800

    Correct Option: A

    According to given bar graph , we have
    Number of workers placed in the lowest wage group 1000 - 1100 = 3
    Number of workers placed in the highest wage group 1700 - 1800 = 7
    Required ratio = Number of workers placed in the lowest wage group 1000 - 1100 : Number of workers placed in the highest wage group 1700 - 1800
    Required ratio = 3 : 7
