ANSWER GIVEN

 

Consider a sample of needle shaped particles with square cross-section of 5 μm x 5 μm and
length varying between 20 µm and 200 µm. The differential frequency distribution (number
based) for the particle length x is as follows:
qn(x)
{
for x ≤ 20 μm
0.00556 μm-1 for 20 μm < x≤ 200 μm
0
for x > 200 μm
0
