Detailed Solution

We have to find the lower class boundary of the class, if U is the upper class boundary of a class in a frequency distribution and z is the midpoint of the class.
We know that the midpoint of a class interval in a frequency distribution is the average of the sum of the upper-class boundary and the lower class boundary, midpoint= upperclassboundary+lowerclassboundary 2
Put z for the midpoint, U for a upper class boundary:
z= U+Lowerclassboundary 2 Lowerclassboundary+U=2z Lowerclassboundary=2zU
Therefore, option 3 is correct.
