(C) 30-40
Clarification:
Marks Number of students Cumulative Frequency
Underneath 10 3=3 3
10-20 (12 – 3) = 9 12
20-30 (27 – 12) = 15 27
30-40 (57 – 27) = 30 57
40-50 (75 – 57) = 18 75
50-60 (80 – 75) = 5 80
Here, we see that the most elevated recurrence is 30, which lies in the span 30 – 40.
Henceforth, choice (C) is right
