Solution
The correct option is B 69.43
Literacy rate(in %)45−5555−6565−7575−8585−95Number of cities3101183
Class mark(for 1st class interval)
=upper class limit + lower class limit2=45+552=50
Let the assumed mean(a) be 70 (Choose the number in order to get minimum values of d)
The class size(h) is = 55 – 45 = 10 (Upperclass limit- lower class limit)
