The Correct answer is Option 4.


Key Points

Given: The relation  7(B - A) = 9C , where  A  is the median and  B  is the mode.

Median (A)

Total frequency = 20, so N / 2  = 10 
The median class is 60-90.

Using the median formula: A = 60 + 10 - 9 / 7 * 30 = 64.29

Mode (B)

The mode class is also 60-90.
Using the mode formula: B = ( 60 + 7 - 5 ) / ( 2(7) - 5 - 4}) * 30 = 72

Use the Given Relation
Substitute the values into the equation:

7(B - A) = 9C or  7(72 - 64.29) = 9C

Final Answer:
The value of  C  is 6.

Hence, Option 4 is correct.
