It is given that N = 100 = Total frequency
∴    63 + x + y = 100
⇒    x + y = 100 - 63
⇒    x + y = 37
⇒    y = 37-x    ...(i)
The median is 20.75 (given), which lies in the class 20-25 ⇒ Median class = 20-25
Here, we have    l = lower limit of median class = 20, Median class = 20-25
f = frequency of median class = y
cf = cumulative frequency of class preceding the median class = 30 + x
and    h = class size = 5
Substituting these values in the formula of median, we get

rightwards double arrow                                            0.75 space equals space open parentheses fraction numerator 50 minus 30 minus straight x over denominator straight y end fraction close parentheses cross times 5

rightwards double arrow                                           3 over 4 equals fraction numerator left parenthesis 20 minus x right parenthesis cross times 5 over denominator y end fraction
rightwards double arrow                                           3y = 400 - 20 x
rightwards double arrow                                          3(37 - x) = 400 - 20x             [From (i)]
rightwards double arrow                                          111 - 3x = 400 - 20x
rightwards double arrow                                           17x = 289
rightwards double arrow                                            x = 17

Substituting x = 17 in (i), we get 
                                                    y = 37 -17 = 20
Hence, the missing frequencies are x = 17 and y = 20.
