Question

If the median of 3/x,1/x,2/x,9/x,5/x,7/x is 1/2what is its x value

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8

Explanation:

Given terms are 3/x,1/x,2/x,9/x,

5/x,7/x

Rearranging the terms,we get

1/x,2/x,3/x,5/x,7/x,9/x

Number of terms (n) = 6[even]

median = 1/2 [ given ]

average of (3rd, 4th terms)=1/2

[(3/x+5/x)/2]=1/2

=> 8/x = 2/2

=> 8/x = 1

=> 8 = x

Therefore,

x = 8
