  1. 10.5 -17.5

  2. 3.5 -10.5

  3. 7 -17.5

  4. 7 -14


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Class mark is the mid point of the class interval. 

Class size is the upper limit minus lower limit.
Given that class mark of a class is $10.5$ and 

class size is $7$
By option verification,
Opition A class mark is $\dfrac{10.5+17.5}{2}=\dfrac{28}{2}=14$ False

Option B class mark is $\dfrac{10.5+3.5}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2}=7$ False

Option C class mark is $\dfrac{17.5+7}{2}=\dfrac{24.5}{2}=12.25$ False

Option D class size is $14-7=7$ and
Class mark is $\dfrac{14+7}{2}=\dfrac{21}{2}=10.5$ True

Therefore the class interval is $7-14$
