Answer

Cumulative frequency distribution table :

NumberFrequencyCumulative frequency
2011
2523 (1 + 2)
3058 (3 + 5)
35614 (8 + 6)
40317 (14 + 3)
45219 (17 + 2)
50120 (19 + 1)

Here, n = 20, which is even.

By formula,

Upper quartile = 3n4\dfrac{3n}{4} th term = 3×204\dfrac{3 \times 20}{4} = 15th term.

Number related to 15th to 17th term is 40.

∴ Upper quartile = 40.

Hence, Option 4 is the correct option.
