    Correct option is A

    Solution:

    Let the missing frequency be f₁.
    Arithmetic Mean = 28

    Σf = 80 + f₁
    Σfm = 2100 + 35f₁

    Using the formula for the mean:
    X̅ = Σfm / Σf

    Given, X̅ = 28

    => 28 = (2100 + 35f₁) / (80 + f₁)
    => 2240 + 28f₁ = 2100 + 35f₁
    => 2240 - 2100 = 35f₁ - 28f₁
    => 140 = 7f₁
    => f₁ = 140 / 7 = 20

    Hence, the missing frequency is 20.
