The following data relate to the marks of a group of students:Marks | <10 | <20 | <30 | <40 | <50 ---|---|---|---|---Freq | $15 | $38 | $65 | $84 | $100 How many students got marks more than $30 ?

Option c: $35$. Solution: We are given a cumulative 'less than' frequency table for the marks of a group of students: - Total number of students = $100 (cumulative frequency for <50$) - Cumulative frequency of students with marks <30 = 65 To find the number of students who got marks more than $30$: Number of students = Total students - Students with marks <30 Number of students = 100 - 65 = 35 This corresponds to Option C. Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

Correct Answer

✅ Option c — $35$

All Options:

A$65$
B$50$
C$35$
D$43$

Detailed Solution & Explanation

We are given a cumulative 'less than' frequency table for the marks of a group of students: - Total number of students = $100$ (cumulative frequency for $<50$) - Cumulative frequency of students with marks

\displaystyle <30 = 65

To find the number of students who got marks more than $30$:

Number of students = Total students - Students with marks < 30

Number of students = 100 - 65 = 35

This corresponds to Option C. Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
