The given frequency distribution table is:

Class

Frequency

0-5

10

5-10

15

10-15

12

15-20

20

20-25

9

The maximum frequency is 20 and the modal class is 15 -20 with 15 being the lower limit.
The cumulative frequency table will be:

Class

Frequency

Cumulative frequency

0-5

10

10

5-10

15

10+15=25

10-15

12

25+12=37

15-20

20

37+20=57

20-25

9

57+9=66

Here, N=66   and N 2 =33   .
We can see that the cumulative frequency just greater than 33 is 37.   Therefore, the median class is 1015   and the lower limit is 10.  
Hence, the sum of the lower limits of the median class and the modal class is
10+15=25  
Therefore, the required sum is 25.
Thus, the correct option is 2.
