If the mean of the data
Class\(5-10\)\(10-15\)\(15-20\)\(20-25\)\(25-30\)\(30-35\)
Frequency\(2\)\(k\)\(28\)\(54\)\(k+1\)\(5\)

is \(21\), then \(k\) is one of the roots of the equation :

  1. A \(2x^2 - 23x - 10 = 0\)
  2. B \(4x^2 - 35x + 24 = 0\)
  3. C \(2x^2 - 19x - 10 = 0\)
  4. D \(2x^2 - 35x + 98 = 0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2x^2 - 19x - 10 = 0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The class marks (mid-points) \(x_i\) for the given classes are \(7.5, 12.5, 17.5, 22.5, 27.5, 32.5\). The sum of the frequencies is: \(\sum f_i = 2 + k + 28 + 54 + (k + 1) + 5 = 2k + 90\) The sum of the products \(f_i x_i\) is:…
