Can anyone help me in clear understanding the same...The sum of fractions, the calculations and all... Is this values in the table plays a role in selecting the Ear Protectors?

dear dipilkumar,
to make it simple follow my 1st comment.ear protection is selected on the basis of exposure level and duration of exposure. simple way if the exposure level is v. high use ear muffs. if the level is moderately high use ear plugs.Do`nt go in too much detail....or u will be confused.
