Please find below the solution to the asked query :

Sum of frequencies=7042+x+y=70x+y=28   ... 1Here mode=32.5 ,So modal class is 30-35l=30 , f1=22 , f0=x , f2=yh=5Now,Mode = l+ f1-f02f1-f0-f2×h32.5=30+22-x44-x-y×52.55=22-x44-x-y44-x-y=44-2xx-y=0Adding 1 and 2 , we get2x=28x=14Substituing the value of x in 1 , we get14+y=28y=14.
