Correct Answer Explanation

In the inclusive form, the second class interval is 11–20 (not 10–20).

Inclusive vs Exclusive for marks (0–100):
  • Inclusive form: 0–10, 11–20, 21–30, 31–40, ..., 91–100
  • Exclusive form: 0–10, 10–20, 20–30, 30–40, ..., 90–100
Key Difference:
  • In inclusive: both limits belong to same class → gap between classes (10 and 11).
  • In exclusive: upper limit of one class = lower limit of next class → continuity maintained.
  • Marks are a discrete variable (whole numbers only) → both forms can be used.
