Question 63

The median of $$6, 7, x - 2, x, 17$$ and $$20$$, (written in ascending order) is 16. Then the value of x is

Solution

Terms : $$6, 7, x - 2, x, 17$$ and $$20$$

Since, there are 6 terms, median is the average of 3rd and 4th term

=> Median = $$\frac{x-2+x}{2}=16$$

=> $$x-1=16$$

=> $$x=17$$

=> Ans - (D)
