Correct Answer: 33.4


Solution :

Scores Frequencies Mid Point Mid Point × Frequencies
0-10 2 5 10
10-20 4 15 60
20-30 12 25 300
30-40 21 35 735
40-50 6 45 270
50-60 3 55 165
60-70 2 65 130

Mean = $\frac{\sum \text{ (Mid Point × Frequencies)}}{\sum \text{Frequencies}}$
= $\frac{10+60+300+735+270+165+130}{2+4+12+21+6+3+2}$
= $\frac{1670}{50}$
= 33.4
Hence, the correct answer is 33.4.
