N = 30

Position of first quartile = (N4)th(\frac N4 )^{th} item = (304)th(\frac{30}{4})^{th} item = 7.5th item

In c.f. column, 12 is just greater than 7.5 so its corresponding class is 65-70.
∴ L = 65, f = 5, c.f. = 7, i = 5

Now, we know, Q1 = L + N4c.f.f\frac{\frac N4 , - , c.f.}{f} × i or, Q1 = 65 + 7.575\frac{7.5 , - , 7}{5} × 5
∴ Q1 = 65.5

Position of third quartile = (3N4)th(\frac{3N}{4} )^{th} item = (3×304)th(\frac{3 \, \times \, 30}{4})^{th} item = 22.5th item

In c.f. column, 24 is just greater than 22.5 so its corresponding class is 75-80.
∴ L = 75, f = 4, c.f. = 20, i = 5

Now, we know, Q3 = L + 3N4c.f.f\frac{\frac{3N}{4} , - , c.f.}{f} × i or, Q3 = 75 + 22.5205\frac{22.5 , - , 20}{5} × 5
