Answer is C

40% of the projects have 3 people

1 - 25% - 35% = 40%

Can someone explain how can 3 people be assigned to rest(40%) of the project?

1) 25% have 4 or more emp....Tells nothing about the rest of the projects, therefore insufficient.

>>AD goes down<<

2) 35% have 2 or less emp....Same as the first one, tells nothing about the rest 65%, so insufficient.

>>B goes down<<

1)+2)
25%...4 or more
35%...2 or less
100-(25+35)=40% projects have 3 emp.

arranging in order, on the basis of no of emp::
1-25(>=2), 26-65(=3), 66-100(<=4)
the avg of 50th and 51st observation would be the median, i.e (3+3)/2=3
Hence median=3.
Therefore answer is C
