Age 

 less than 10 less than 20 less than 30 less than 40 less than 50 less than 60 less than 70

Number of 

persons : 

5 20 40 65 80 91 100

 

Plot Age on x-axis and cumulative frequency on y-axis

N= 100 \implies \frac{N}{2} = 50

Marking a point on the curve whose ordinate is 50 gives an x-ordinate= 33.5

Hence, the Median of the data is 33.5 (approx)
