    Solution:

    Given the following frequency distribution table in which the median of data is 32 and N=100.              From the table it is clear that N = 100 and median is 32, therefore corresponding median class is 30-40.
    Therefore,  l=30, F=30, cf=35+f1, and h=10.
    Median=l+N2 - cfF×h    32=30+1002 - 35-f130×10    2×3=50-35-f1
    6=15-f1
    f1=9
    Also the sum of frequency is 100.
    Form an equation using this.
    75+f1+f2=100
    f1+f2=100-75
    f1+f2=25                   ……………(1)
    Substitute value of f1 in equation 1 to calculate value of f2 .
    9+f2=25
    f2=25-9
    f2=16
    Thus, the value of f1=9 and that of f2=16.
    Hence, option 3 is correct.
