i think it is E
35 % has less then = to 2..

and the 25 % has greater than equal to 4

these are mutually exclusive.. its the other 45% where the median might lie.. if the 45 % have employees >=7 then median would be somewhere between 4 and 7

but if the 45 % have 3 employees median will be 3

I say C.

40% of the projects must have 3 ppl assigned to them.
40%>25%(4 or above), and 40>35%(2 or less).

Clearly (C).

3 is the only integer between 2 and 4, thus the median should be 3.

It looks like the only option for the median is 3. If we pick up numbers we will get three as a median. It is C no Doubt. OA is C.
