The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation


Step 1:
Find total frequency. \[ N=3+4+6+3+4=20 \] \[ \frac N2=10 \]

Step 2:
Find the median class. Cumulative frequencies: \[ 3,\;7,\;13,\;16,\;20 \] Since 10 lies between 7 and 13, the median class is \[ 8-12 \] Therefore, \[ l=8,\quad h=4,\quad f=6,\quad c_f=7 \]

Step 3:
Apply median formula. \[ \text{Median} = 8+\frac{10-7}{6}\times4 \] \[ =8+\frac{12}{6} \] \[ =10 \] 10
