Solution

The correct option is B x=8,y=10
C.I Frequency
fi
Midvalue
xi
fixi
020 7 10 70
2040 x 30 30x
4060 12 50 600
6080 y 70 70y
80100 8 90 720
100120 5 110 550
fi=32+x+y fixi=1940+30x+70y
fi=32+x+y
50=32+x+y
x+y=18 ------- ( 1 )
¯¯¯x=fixifi

57.6=1940+30x+70y50

2880=1940+30x+70y
30x+70y=940
3x+7y=94 ----- ( 2 )
Multiplying equation ( 1 ) by 3 we get,
3x+3y=54 ------ ( 3 )
Subtracting equaton ( 3 ) from equation ( 2 ) we get,
4y=40
y=10
Substituting y=10 in equation ( 1 ),
x+10=18
x=8
x=8 and y=10
