Σfi=50

 

 

Σ fixi =7180

Formula used for mean:
  Mean= f i x i f i Mean= 7180 50 Mean=143.6  
Formula used for median:
Median=l+ h× N 2 cf f  ,
where, l  =lower limit of the median class, h  =size of the median class, f  = frequency of the median class, N  = sum of frequencies and cf   =cumulative frequency of the class just preceding the median class.
Here,
  N 2 = 50 2 =25  
The cumulative frequency just greater than 25 is 26 and the corresponding class is 120140  .
Therefore, the median class is 120140  .
l=120,h=20,f=14,N=50 and cf=12  
Calculating the median, we get,
 Median =120+ 20× 50 2 12 14  Median =120+ 20× 2512 14  Median =120+ 20× 13 14 Median=120+ 20×0.928 Median=120+18.6 Median=138.6  
Formula used for mode:
Mode=3Median2Mean Mode=3×138.62×143.6 Mode=128.6  
The value of mean is 143.6, median is 138.6 and mode is 128.6.
Thus, the correct option is 3.
