First convert the cumulative less than type frequency distribution into a simple continuous frequency distribution as follows

0 - 5 : 10,  5 - 10 : 15,  10 - 15 : 20, 15 -20 : 10,  20 - 25 : 7,  25 - 30 : 7

Then calculate the median class which is 10 - 15, then apply the formula of median based on interpolation as given below :

Md  =  L  + (N/2  -  C.F.) / F   x  i   =  11.875 ( in thousands)

Mo  =  L  +  (F1  -  F0) / (2F1 - F0 - F2)   x  i   =  11.666 ( in thousands)

Hence option iii is correct
