The mean and median of the data a, b and c are 50 and 35 respectively, where a < b < c If c - a = 55 then b - a =
  • A
    8
  • B
    7
  • C
    3
  • 5
Answer
Correct option: D.
5
(d)
It is given that a < b < c Therefore, median = b. But, it is given that the median is 35.
Therefore, b = 35.
Mean of a, b and c is 50.
$\therefore \quad \frac{a+b+c}{3}=50 \Rightarrow a+b+c=150 \Rightarrow a+35+c=150 \Rightarrow a+c=115$
Thus, we have c + a = 115 and c - a =55 Rightarrow a=30 and c = 85
Hence, b - a = 35 - 30 = 5
