    In the following frequency distribution. Class limits of some of the class intervals and mid-vale of a class are missing. However, the mean of the distribution is known to be 46.5.
    Class intervals Mid-values Frequency
    \[{{x}_{1}}-{{x}_{2}}\] 15 10
    \[{{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{3}}\] 30 40
    \[{{x}_{3}}-{{x}_{4}}\] M 30
    \[{{x}_{4}}-{{x}_{5}}\] 75 10
    \[{{x}_{5}}-100\] 90 10
    The values of \[{{x}_{1}},{{x}_{2}},{{x}_{3}},{{x}_{4}},{{x}_{5}}\] respectively will be

    A) \[(0,20,40,60,80)\]

    B) \[(40,50,60,70,80)\]

    C) \[(10,20,40,70,80)\]

    D) \[(0,19.5,39.5,69.5,80)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[\frac{\Sigma {{x}_{i}}{{f}_{i}}}{\Sigma {{f}_{i}}}=46.5\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{15\times 10+30\times 40+M\times 30+75\times 10+90\times 10}{10+40+30+10+10}=46.5\]\[\therefore M=55.\] so the class intervals can be \[10-20,20-40,40-70,70-80,80-100\]
