The correct answer is: 151

Given that the mean for the frequency distribution is 28.

We know that Mean x=fixifi

Now for the class interval 0-10 we get x1=0+102=5

Similarly we can calculate xi for other class intervals.

Now we know that mean =28

2×5+3×15+x×25+5×35+4×4514+x=28

x=6

Also we know that variance σ2=fix¯-xi2fi

σ2=2×28-52+3×28-152+6×28-252+5×28-352+4×28-45220

σ2=2×232+3×132+6×32+5×72+4×17220

σ2=151

Hence this is the required answer.
