Answer

We have, Let A = 25 be the assumed mean
Marks
Frequency$ f_i$
Mid-value $x_1$
Deviation $d_i = (x_i- 25)$
$f_1 \times d_1$

Total
$\sum\text{f}_\text{i}=100$
 
 
$\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\times\text{d}_\text{i}=300$
$\bar{\text{x}}=\text{A}+\frac{\sum(\text{f}_\text{i}\times\text{x}_\text{i})}{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}}=\Big(25+\frac{300}{100}\Big)=(25+3)$Hence mean = 28
