Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

\(\begin{array}{c|c} \text{Class intervals} & F & \text{Class boundary}\\ \hline 5 - 7 & 17 & 4.5 - 9.5\\ 10 - 14 & 32 & 9.5 - 14.5\\ 15 - 19 & 25 & 14.5 - 19.5\\ 20 - 24 & 24 & 19.5 - 24.5 \end{array}\)

mode = 9.5 + \(\frac{D_1}{D_2 + D_1}\) x C

= 9.5 + \(\frac{5(32 - 17)}{2(32) - 17 - 25}\)

= 9.5 + \(\frac{75}{22}\)

= 12.91

\(\approx\) 12.9
