Solution :
Coming Soon
Class Marks (x) = 8.5
Class size (h) = 5
Lower Limit = ?
Upper Limit = ?

We know, 
Lower Limit (LL)  
= Class Marks (x) - Class Size (h)/2

Upper Limit (UL)  
= Class Marks (x) + Class Size (h)/2

So 
Lower Limit 
= x-h/2
= 8.5-5/2
= 8.5-2.5
= 6

Upper Limit 
= x+h/2
= 8.5+2.5
= 11

The required class interval is 6-11

Hence, b) would be the correct option.
