Solution

The correct option is B 58.125
Marks
Students (f)
Cumulative frequency (cf)
5055
50
50
5560
40
50+40=90
6065
30
90+30=120
6570
20
120+20=140
7075
10
140+10=150



Median =l+⎜ ⎜n2cff⎟ ⎟×h
n=Σf= Total number of frequency =150
n2=1502=75
So, the median class is 5560
L= Lower limit of the median class =55
cf= Cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class =50
f= Frequency of the median class =40
h= class width=5
Therefore, Median =l+⎜ ⎜n2cff⎟ ⎟×h
=55+⎜ ⎜ ⎜15025040⎟ ⎟ ⎟×5
=55+(755040)×5
=55+258
=58.125
Hence, the median is 58.125.
