I think even the person who scored 40 above are to be taken into consideration as the question has not mentioned that even 40+ students are included in 30+ students.

Question is asked that at-least 60% is needed for pursuing higher studies. So only least percentage i.e. 30% should be considered.

We have given marks out of 50 and given at least 60% marks in Physics are required for pursuing higher studies in Physics so 60% of 50 = (60x50/100) = 30.
And No.of students scoring 30 and above marks in Physics are 32 so answer is 32.

Answer is correct, because they said at least 60%; if we consider 40 mark column then they have 80%;and if that of 30 column is 60% (at least) ;Hence correct.

This is the true example of testing your interpretation on tabular data. The total number of students are 100. Total of number of students given under each marks margin column exceeds 100, this indicates that number of students in each column might or might not include the number of students of previous or next column depending upon the column headings. In short.......the number of 40+ marks is already included in the 30+ marks students

@Megha.
There they mentioned indirectly that 30 and above mean that the marks are included from 30 to 50 I think you understood there exists difference between 30-40 and 30 and above.
