Correct Answer Explanation

Histogram gives the value of mode of the frequency distribution graphically.

Key Points:
  • The x-coordinate of the dotted vertical line drawn from the intersection of diagonals of the highest bar gives the mode.
  • Mode is the value that occurs most frequently in a distribution.
  • The tallest rectangle in the histogram represents the modal class.
  • This is a very frequently asked question in SSC and Banking exams.
Why Other Options Are Wrong
  • A. Mean: Mean cannot be determined graphically from a histogram.
  • C. Median: Median is found from ogives, not histograms.
  • D. Standard deviation: This requires mathematical calculation, not graphical method.
