Total	\(\displaystyle 170+x\)		$\displaystyle 435000$ + $\displaystyle 3250$ x

\(\displaystyle 170+x=200 \Rightarrow x=30\) $\displaystyle 1500$ - $\displaystyle 2000$ is the modal class \(\displaystyle \Rightarrow\) Mode \(\displaystyle =1500+\left(\frac{40-24}{2 \times 40-24-33}\right) \times 500\) \[\text { = } 1500 \text { + } 347.82 \] Hence the modal monthly expenditure is ₹ $\displaystyle 1847.82$ \(\displaystyle \therefore \sum f_{i} x_{i}=435000+3250 \times 30=532500\) Mean \(\displaystyle =\frac{532500}{200}=2662.50\) Hence the mean monthly expenditure is ₹ $\displaystyle 2662.50$ ALTERNATE SOLUTION: \(\displaystyle \sum f_{i}=170+x=200\) \(\displaystyle \Rightarrow x=30\)
