Median =l+N2-cffm×c
Here,
Class Interval, c=100 N=Σfi
N=60
Then,
N2=30 Median class =700-800 Frequency of median class, fm=17
Lower boundary of median class, l=700
previous cumulative frequency of median class, cf=24 On substituting,
Median =700+(602-24)17×100 Median=700+(6)17×100 Median=735.29 Thus, the median is 735.29.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
