The question requires calculating percentages based on employee earnings data, which is not provided in the prompt. Assuming the data were available in a table or chart, the steps to solve this would be as described below. The provided option A is the correct answer based on the original source data not included here.
To solve this problem, one would need the distribution of employees based on their weekly earnings.
1. Identify the number of employees earning between Rs. 261 and Rs. 300 per week. Calculate this number as a percentage of the total number of employees.
2. Identify the number of employees earning less than Rs. 281 per week. This would involve summing up employees in earning brackets below Rs. 281. Calculate this number as a percentage of the total number of employees.
3. Find the difference between the two calculated percentages.
Without the data, the exact calculation is not possible.
Data interpretation questions often require careful reading of the ranges and cumulative figures. Pay attention to whether ranges are inclusive or exclusive, and whether figures represent counts or percentages directly.
