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.
