First,calculate the mean $\bar{x}$:
$x_i$ $f_i$ $f_i x_i$
$5$ $7$ $35$
$10$ $4$ $40$
$15$ $6$ $90$
$20$ $3$ $60$
$25$ $5$ $125$
Total $N = 25$ $\sum f_i x_i = 350$

$\bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{N} = \frac{350}{25} = 14$
Now,calculate the mean deviation about the mean:
$x_i$ $f_i$ $|x_i - \bar{x}|$ $f_i |x_i - \bar{x}|$
$5$ $7$ $|5-14| = 9$ $63$
$10$ $4$ $|10-14| = 4$ $16$
$15$ $6$ $|15-14| = 1$ $6$
$20$ $3$ $|20-14| = 6$ $18$
$25$ $5$ $|25-14| = 11$ $55$
Total $25$ - $158$

$M.D.(\bar{x}) = \frac{\sum f_i |x_i - \bar{x}|}{N} = \frac{158}{25} = 6.32$
