The mean and the median of the following ten numbers in increasing order 10, 22, 26, 29, 34, x, 42, 67, 70, y are 42 and 35 respectively, then is equal to
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Use the median condition
The 10 numbers are already arranged in increasing order:
For 10 observations, the median is the average of the 5th and 6th terms.
So,
Thus,
- Use the mean condition
Mean of the 10 numbers is 42, so their total sum is:
Now sum the known terms:
First add the constants:
So,
- Compute
- Match with the options
So the correct option is D.
