Given:

The histogram shows the distribution of the life time (in hours) of neon lamps. The number of lamps is a multiple of 5.

From the histogram, read the number of neon lamps for each life time interval (using the provided data):

300 - 400 hours: 25 lamps

400 - 500 hours: 40 lamps

500 - 600 hours: 45 lamps

600 - 700 hours: 60 lamps

700 - 800 hours: 50 lamps

800 - 900 hours: 75 lamps

900 - 1000 hours: 55 lamps

1000 - 1100 hours: 35 lamps

1100 - 1200 hours: 20 lamps

Calculation:

Calculate the total number of neon lamps whose life time is 400 hours or more but less than 700 hours.

This includes lamps in the intervals 400-500, 500-600, and 600-700 hours.

Number of lamps (400 to < 700 hours) = 40 + 45 + 60 = 145

Calculate the total number of neon lamps whose life time is 900 hours or more.

This includes lamps in the intervals 900-1000, 1000-1100, and 1100-1200 hours.

Number of lamps (>= 900 hours) = 55 + 35 + 20 = 110

The difference (t) between these two totals is:

t = (Number of lamps 400 to < 700 hours) - (Number of lamps >= 900 hours)

t = 145 - 110

t = 35

∴ The correct answer is option 3.
