Solution

We know that,
Mean =xififi

Mean = (10×4+20×f1+30×8+40×f2+50×3+60×4)35
34=(40+20f1+240+40f2+150+240)35
34×35=670+20f1+40f2

1190670=20f1+40f2
20f1+40f2=520
20(f1+2f2)=520
f1+2f2=52020

f1+2f2=26

f1=262f2 ......................(1)

Also, 4+f1+8+f2+3+4=35
19+f1+f2=35
f1+f2=3519
f1+f2=16
262f2+f2=16
(from (1))
26f2=16
2616=f2
f2=10
Putting the value of f2 in (1), we get

f1=262(10)=6
Hence, the value of f1 and f2 is 6 and 10, respectively.
