SSC CGL 2018 (Tier 2) Statistics Previous Year Paper (22-feb-2018)
The correct answer is

46.36

Step 1 — Modal class: The highest frequency is 28, so the modal class is 40-50, giving \(L=40,\ f_1=28,\ f_0=14,\ f_2=20,\ h=10\).

Step 2 — Apply the mode formula:

\[\text{Mode} = L + \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2}\times h\]

\[= 40 + \frac{28-14}{2(28)-14-20}\times 10 = 40 + \frac{14}{22}\times 10\]

\[= 40 + 6.3636\ldots \approx 46.36\]

Therefore the mode is 46.36.
