Question 11 Mark
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.
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.
- Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct enatixplaon of assertion.
- Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- Assertion is true but reason is false.
- Assertion is false but reason is true.
Answer
Given, number of observation is 10 (even)
Hence, Median $=\frac{\text{x}+(\text{x}+2)}{2}$
$65=\frac{2\text{x}+2}{2}=\text{x}+1$
$65=\text{x}+1$
$\text{x}=64$
