(X=43, Y=18) Given total frequency $N = 200.$
Sum of frequencies: $8 + 12 + 27 + x + 55 + 37 + y = 200 \implies 139 + x + y = 200 \implies x + y = 61$ (Equation $1$).
Since the mode is $64,$ the modal class is $60-70.$
Formula for mode: $\text{Mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h.$
Here,$l = 60, f_1 = 55, f_0 = x, f_2 = 37, h = 10.$
$64 = 60 + \left( \frac{55 - x}{2(55) - x - 37} \right) \times 10.$
$4 = \left( \frac{55 - x}{110 - x - 37} \right) \times 10 \implies 4 = \frac{550 - 10x}{73 - x}.$
$292 - 4x = 550 - 10x \implies 6x = 258 \implies x = 43.$
Substituting $x = 43$ in Equation $1$: $43 + y = 61 \implies y = 18.$
Thus,$x = 43$ and $y = 18.$
