Question

A) 6
B) 7
C) 8
D) ​​​​​​​12

Solution

The answer is B.

Let x and y be the upper and lower class limit in a frequency distribution.

Now, mid value of a class =x+y2=10 [given]

x+y=20(i)
Also, given that, width of class =6

xy=6(ii)
On adding equations (i) and (ii), we get, 2x=20+6
2x=26x=13
On putting x=13 in (i), we get,
13+y=20y=7
Hence, the lower limit of the class is 7.
