    Draw an Ogive for the given distribution taking 2 cm = 10 marks on one axis and 2 cm = 20 students on the other axis. From the graph find: (a) the Median (a) the Upper Quartile (a) Number of students scoring above 65 marks. (a) If 10 students qualify for merit scholarship, find the minimum marks required to qualify. (b) From two points A and B on the same side of a building, the angles of elevation of the top of the building are 30° and 60° respectively. If the height of the building is 10m, find the distance between A and B correct to two decimal places.
