Detailed Solution & Explanation

**Step 1: Apply the empirical formula.** Mode=3×Median−2×Mean\text{Mode} = 3 \times \text{Median} - 2 \times \text{Mean} **Step 2: Substitute values.** - Mean = 70.8, Median = 68.6 Mode=3×68.6−2×70.8\text{Mode} = 3 \times 68.6 - 2 \times 70.8 =205.8−141.6=64.2= 205.8 - 141.6 = 64.2 Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
