which lies in the class 150-160
Thus we have
Median class = 150 - 160
l = 150, , h = 10, cf = 22 and f = 20
Putting these values in the formula of Median, we get

Here, the man class frequency is 20 and the class corresponding to frequency is 150 - 160, So, the modal class is 150 - 160.
Thus, we have
Modal class = 150-160
l = 150,f1 = 20
f0 = 12, f2 = 8, n = 10
Now,
Substituting these values in the formula of made, we get
