OBSERVATION

The question was also very popular among the candidates and a majority did well and scored high marks.  However, it was also observed that some candidates used the class mid point instead of the class-boundaries to draw the Ogive which is wrong.  Some others were unable to read the median from the graph and hence, they lost some marks.
