Solution

The correct option is D 14
$\begin{matrix} C l a s s I n t e r v a l & F r e q u e n c y & C u m u l a t i v e F r e q u e n c y 20 - 25 & 20 & 20 25 - 30 & 15 & 35 30 - 35 & 12 & 47 35 - 40 & 10 & 57 40 - 45 & 8 & 65 45 - 50 & 7 & 72 \end{matrix}$

$\frac{N}{4} = 18$

Therefore, class corresponding to the first quartile is 20-25

$Q_{1} = L + \frac{\frac{N}{4} - c . f}{f} \times h = 20 + \frac{18 - 0}{20} \times 5 = 24.5$

$\frac{3 N}{4} = 54$

Therefore, class corresponding to the third quartile is 35-40

$Q_{3} = L + \frac{\frac{3 N}{4} - c . f}{f} \times h = 35 + \frac{54 - 47}{10} \times 5 = 38.5$

$I n t e r - q u a r t i l e r a n g e = \frac{Q_{3} - Q_{1}}{2} = 38.5 - 24.5 = 14$
