Answer

Let's first find the coefficient of variable for Group $G_1$
$CI$ $f$ $x$ $\text{u}=\frac{\text{x}-\text{A}}{\text{h}}$ $fu$ $u^2$ $fu^2$
10-20 9 15 -3 -27 9 81
20-30 17 25 -2 -34 4 68
30-40 32 35 -1 -32 1 32
40-50 33 45 0 0 0 0
50-60 40 55 1 40 1 40
60-70 10 65 2 20 4 40
70-80 9 75 3 27 9 81
  150     -6   342
Here, $N = 150, A = 45, \sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}=-6,\ \sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}^2=342$ and $h = 10$
$\therefore\text{Mean}=\overline{\text{x}}=\text{A+h}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\overline{\text{x}}=45+10\Big(\frac{-6}{150}\Big)=44.6$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=\text{h}^2\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}^2-\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}\Big)^2\bigg]$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=100\bigg[\frac{342}{150}-\Big(\frac{-6}{150}\Big)^2\bigg]=227.84$
$\therefore\text{S.D.}=\sqrt{\text{Var}(\text{X})}=\sqrt{227.84}=15.09$
Coefficient of variation $=\frac{\text{S.D.}}{\overline{\text{x}}}\times100=\frac{15.09}{44.6}\times100=33.83$
Now, Let's first find the coefficient of variable for Group $G_2$
$CI$ $f$ $x$ $\text{u}=\frac{\text{x}-\text{A}}{\text{h}}$ $fu$ $u^2$ $fu^2$
10-20 10 15 -3 -30 9 902
20-30 20 25 -2 -40 4 80
30-40 30 35 -1 -30 1 30
40-50 25 45 0 0 0 0
50-60 43 55 1 43 1 43
60-70 15 65 2 30 4 60
70-80 7 75 3 21 9 63
  150     -6   366
Here, $N = 150, A = 45, \sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}=-6,\ \sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}^2=366$ and $h = 10$
$\therefore\text{Mean}=\overline{\text{x}}=\text{A+h}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\overline{\text{x}}=45+10\Big(\frac{-6}{150}\Big)=44.6$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=\text{h}^2\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}^2-\Big(\frac{1}{\text{N}}\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{u}_\text{i}\Big)^2\bigg]$
$\text{Var}(\text{X})=100\bigg[\frac{366}{150}-\Big(\frac{-6}{150}\Big)^2\bigg]=243.84$
$\therefore\text{S.D.}=\sqrt{\text{Var}(\text{X})}=\sqrt{227.84}=15.62$
Coefficient of variation $=\frac{\text{S.D.}}{\overline{\text{x}}}\times100=\frac{15.09}{44.6}\times100=35.02$
$\therefore$ Group $G_2$ is more variable.
