Answer

The given class marks are 10, 15, 20, 25, ……..

The class width is the difference between any two consecutive class marks.

Class width = 15 - 10 = 5

If a is the class mark of a class interval of width h, then the lower and upper limits of the class interval are:

Lower limit = a - h2\dfrac{h}{2} upper limit = a + h2\dfrac{h}{2}

So, a = 15 and h = 5

Class interval = (1552)to(15+52)\Big(15 - \dfrac{5}{2}\Big) to \Big(15 + \dfrac{5}{2}\Big)

= (15 - 2.5) to (15 + 2.5)

= 12.5 to 17.5

Hence, the class corresponding to the class mark 15 is 12.5-17.5.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
