Solution

(i) The highest rectangle corresponds to the highest number of literate females, which is in the interval 15-20 years.
(ii) The class intervals are 10-15, 15-20, 20-25, 30-35, 35-40. Hence, the class width is 5.
(iii) The lowest rectangle corresponds to the lowest frequency, which is 320.
(iv) The class mark is the mid-point of the class interval.

class mark=upper limit+lower limit2
Hence, the class mark of each class is as follows:
Interval Class Mark
10-15 12.5
15-20 17.5
20-25 22.5
25-30 27.5
30-35 32.5
35-40 37.5

(v) The lowest rectangle corresponds to the least number of literate females, which is in the interval 10-15 years.
