(A) The given data is not continuous. We convert it into a continuous frequency distribution by subtracting $0.5$ from the lower limit and adding $0.5$ to the upper limit of each class interval.						Age			Frequency $(f_i)$			Cumulative Frequency $(c.f.)$			Mid-point $(x_i)$			$|x_i - 	ext{Median}|$			$f_i |x_i - 	ext{Median}|$							$15.5-20.5$			$5$			$5$			$18$			$20$			$100$							$20.5-25.5$			$6$			$11$			$23$			$15$			$90$							$25.5-30.5$			$12$			$23$			$28$			$10$			$120$							$30.5-35.5$			$14$			$37$			$33$			$5$			$70$							$35.5-40.5$			$26$			$63$			$38$			$0$			$0$							$40.5-45.5$			$12$			$75$			$43$			$5$			$60$							$45.5-50.5$			$16$			$91$			$48$			$10$			$160$							$50.5-55.5$			$9$			$100$			$53$			$15$			$135$							Total			$N=100$			-			-			-			$735$			Here,$N = 100$,so $\frac{N}{2} = 50$. The cumulative frequency just greater than $50$ is $63$,which corresponds to the class interval $35.5-40.5$.Median $= l + \frac{\frac{N}{2} - C}{f} 	imes h = 35.5 + \frac{50 - 37}{26} 	imes 5 = 35.5 + \frac{13 	imes 5}{26} = 35.5 + 2.5 = 38$.Mean Deviation about Median $= \frac{1}{N} \sum f_i |x_i - 	ext{Median}| = \frac{735}{100} = 7.35$.

Age (in years)	$16-20$	$21-25$	$26-30$	$31-35$	$36-40$	$41-45$	$46-50$	$51-55$
Number of persons	$5$	$6$	$12$	$14$	$26$	$12$	$16$	$9$

${x_i}$	$2$	$5$	$6$	$8$	$10$	$12$
${f_i}$	$2$	$8$	$10$	$7$	$8$	$5$
