(d) 17-21

This question was addressed to me during an interview for a job.

This question is from Data Handling topic in portion Data Handling of Mathematics – Class 8

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) 13-17

To elaborate: The height of the bar represents the number of data items in the given data range called frequency. Maximum frequency in the given histogram is 24 which is for the range 13-17. So maximum people are older than 13 and younger than 17 years.
