Solution

The correct option is D $4$
Mean $= \frac{\sum f_{i} x_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{0 \times y + 1 \times 20 + 2 \times 40 + 3 \times 40 + 4 \times 20 + 5 \times 4}{y + 20 + 40 + 40 + 20 + 4} = 2.5$
$\Rightarrow \frac{20 + 80 + 120 + 80 + 20}{124 + y} = 2.5$
$\Rightarrow 320 = 2.5 (124 + y)$
$\Rightarrow 320 = 310 + 2.5 y \Rightarrow 2.5 y = 10 \Rightarrow y = 4$
