Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Numbers: 4, 6, 8, P, 12, 14
Median = 9
Formula used:
Median of an odd number of terms = middle term
Median of an even number of terms = average of two middle terms
Calculation:
Since there are 6 numbers, the median is the average of the 3rd and 4th terms.
4, 6, 8, P, 12, 14
⇒ (8 + P) / 2 = 9
⇒ 8 + P = 18
⇒ P = 10
∴ The correct answer is option (3).
