Detailed Solution & Explanation

We are given the following parameters of a grouped frequency distribution: - Total number of classes, n=10\displaystyle n = 10 - Width (or size) of each class, w=2.5\displaystyle w = 2.5 - Lower class boundary of the lowest (first) class, LCB1=5.1\displaystyle LCB_1 = 5.1 Since the classes are contiguous, the total width spanned by all 10\displaystyle 10 classes is the product of the number of classes and the class width: Total Width=n×w=10×2.5=25.0\text{Total Width} = n \times w = 10 \times 2.5 = 25.0 The upper class boundary of the highest (10th) class (UCB10\displaystyle UCB_{10}) will be the lower class boundary of the first class plus this total spanned width: UCB10=LCB1+Total Width=5.1+25.0=30.1UCB_{10} = LCB_1 + \text{Total Width} = 5.1 + 25.0 = 30.1 This matches Option A. Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
