Question

Jacob was stranded on an island. He was trying to communicate with his friend using a radio transmitter. The quality of communication is measured using a number called Q factor. Jacob tried out different frequency ranges and noted down the Q factors in each range. Identify the frequency with maximum Q factor. Given that the maximum frequency occurs in the range 175-200.

Solution

The correct option is B 190.625 kHz
We need to find the modal frequency of
the given distribution. Given that the modal
class is 175-200.

Here, L=175;D1=8560=25
D2=8570=15;h=25
Mode=L+D1D1+D2×h=175+2540×25=190.625 kHz

The frequency with maximum Q factor
is 190.625 kHz
