Correct option is: C) 70
Since, highest frequency is 17 which is of the class 30-40.
\(\therefore\) Class 30-40 is the modal class of the data
Lower limit of the modal class = 30
Upper limit of the modal class = 40
\(\therefore\) Sum = 30 + 40 = 70
Hence, the sum of lower limit and upper limit of the modal class is 70.
