Solution:
Given data,Mode of the data = 43.
We know,
Mode is the most repeated number in series.
In the given data, 48 and 43 are the elements which occur the most number of times, that is 2 times.
For mode to be 43, 43 should occur the most number of times in the given data.
Since 48 occurs 2 times, 43 should occur at least 3 times.
That is, the value of is to be 43.
So,
⇒
⇒
Therefore, = 43.
Value of + 3 is 46.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
