Correct Table (1/2 Mark)
$170 + x = 200 \implies x = 30$ (1/2 Mark)
$1500-2000$ is the modal class (1/2 Mark)
$\text{Mode} = 1500 + (\frac{40-24}{2\times40-24-33}) \times 500$ (1 Mark)
$= 1500 + 347.82$
$= 1847.82$ (1/2 Mark)
Hence the modal monthly expenditure is ₹$1847.82$
$\therefore \sum f_i x_i = 435000 + 3250 \times 30 = 532500$ (1 Mark)
Mean $= \frac{532500}{200} = 2662.50$ (1 Mark)
Hence the mean monthly expenditure is ₹$2662.50$
