To draw the more than type ogive, we plot 20,100 , 30,90 , 40,82 , 50,70 , 60,46 , 70,40 , 80,15   on the graph and join the points free hand. The graph obtained by this is the required more than type ogive.
To draw the less than type ogive, we plot (30,10)(40,18)(50,30)(60,54), 70,60 , 80,85 , 90,100   on the graph and join the points free hand. The graph obtained by this is the required less than type ogive.
Question ImageWe know that the x-coordinate of the intersection point of two ogives is the median. Here, the x-coordinate of the intersection of the less than type and more than type ogive  is 58.33.
So, the median is 58.33.
Therefore, option 1 is correct.
