    Correct option is B

    Given:

    Given data for class and  frequancy

    Mean of data = 54

    Formula Used:

    Mean=xififiMean = \frac{\sum{x_i f_i}}{\sum{f_i}}​​

    xifi=70+330+50x+630+90y=1030+50x+90y\sum{x_if_i} = 70 +330+50x+630+90y = 1030 +50x+90y​​

    fi=7+11+x+9+y=50\sum{f_i} =7+11+x+9+y =50​​

    27 +x+y = 50

    x+y = 23   ….(1)

    Mean=xififiMean = \frac{\sum{x_i f_i}}{\sum{f_i}}​​

    54=1030+50x+90y5054= \frac{1030+50x+90y}{50}​​

    1030+50x+90y = 2700

    50x+90y = 2700-1030

    50x+90y = 1670

    Substituting the value of y from eq(1)

    50x + 90(23-x) = 1670

    50x+2070-90x =1670

    40x=2070-1670

    x=40040=10x=\frac{400}{40}= 10​​

    y= 23-10 = 13

    The value of (2x+3y) = 20 + 39 = 59
