Detailed Solution & Explanation
The "less than" ogive is a cumulative frequency curve obtained by plotting the cumulative frequencies (representing the number of observations less than or equal to the upper boundary of each class) on the vertical y-axis against the upper class boundaries on the horizontal x-axis.
Like any cumulative frequency curve, the "less than" ogive is used to determine partition values. The most prominent partition value is the **Median** (the value that divides the sorted dataset into two equal halves). To find the median, we locate the point representing (where is the total frequency) on the vertical axis, draw a horizontal line to the curve, and then project down to the horizontal axis to read the median value.
Other measures like Mean, Mode, and Mean Deviation (M.D.) cannot be directly read or determined from a cumulative frequency curve. Thus, the "less than" ogive curve gives the Median.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
