Detailed Solution & Explanation
Partition values, including quartiles, deciles, and percentiles, can be determined graphically using the cumulative frequency curves, which are called **Ogives** (both 'less than' and 'more than' ogives can be used). In contrast, histograms are used to determine the mode graphically, and pie-charts are used for component breakdowns.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.

Do not just memorize formulas; ICAI loves asking about the mathematical properties (e.g., 'sum of deviations from the AM is always zero'). You can usually eliminate 2 options just by knowing the properties.
