Assertion (A) When a given data is arranged in ascending or descending order, then the middlemost observation is called the median of the data.
Reason (R) Marks scored by seven students in a class are 18, 21, 21, 32, 36, 74, 84. Then, the median is 36.
  • A
    Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  • B
    Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  • (A) is true but (R) is false.
  • D
    (A) is false but (R) is true.
