SSC CGL 2026 PYQ — Question 30

SSC CGL Tier II - 19 Jan 2026 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q30

If the marks scored by the students in a class test out of 50 then, Find the Median of the following data:

Marks Frequency
0-10 5
10-20 8
20-30 6
30-40 6
40-50 5

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 23.3.

Marks Frequency Cumulative frequency
0-10 5 5
10-20 8 13
20-30 6 19
30-40 6 25
40-50 5 30

 

Total N = 30

Median class = N/2 = 30/2 = 15

The 15th observation lies in (20 - 30)

L = Lower boundary of the median class = 20

CF = Cumulative frequency of the class just before the median class = 13

f = Frequency of the median class = 6

h = Class width (size of each class interval) = 10

Median =L+N2−CFf×h= L + \frac{{N\over2} - CF}{f} \times h

=20+15−136×10= 20 + \frac{15 - 13}{6} \times 10

=20+26×10= 20 + \frac{2}{6} \times 10

= 20 + 10/3

≈ 23.3
