The monthly salaries of workers in a garment factory are normally distributed. The mean salary is ₹ 10,000 and standard deviation is ₹ 625. If 2,500 workers are getting salary less than ₹ 10,000, then the total number of workers in the factory is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

A normal distribution is symmetric about its mean, so exactly half the workers earn less than the mean of Rs. 10,000.

Since that half equals 2,500 workers, the total is 2×2500=50002\times 2500 = 5000 workers.

The standard deviation is not needed here.
