Directions: In the following questions, the Assertions (A) and Reason(s) (R) have been put forward. Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
Assertion: If the median of the given data 26, 29, 42, 53, x, x + 2, 70, 75, 82, 93, is 65 then the value of x is 64.
Reason: When the number of observations (n) is odd the median is the value of the $\big(\frac{\text{n}+1}{2}\big)^\text{th}$ observation.
  1. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct enatixplaon of assertion.
  2. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. Assertion is true but reason is false.
  4. Assertion is false but reason is true.

Let us now consider the following frequency distribution table which gives the weights of 38 students of a class:

Weights (in kg) Number of students
31-35 9
36-40 5
41-45 14
46-50 3
51-55 1
56-60 2
