Answer. [C]
Solution.
Frequency distribution: It tells how frequencies are distributed over values in a frequency distribution. However mostly we use frequency distribution to
summarize categorical variables.

Marks Frequency Cumulative Frequency
0-10 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
  =80  

The class with highest frequency is 30-40
Hence 30 – 40 is the modal class.
