Question

median of x/3, x/4, x/2, x, x/5, is 12 find x​

Answer 1

Hola mate! Here is your answer

Here n=5(Odd)

Median=12

Solution:

When n is odd :

M=

$\frac{n + 1}{2} th \: \: observation$

So

$\frac{5 + 1}{2} th \: observation$

So 3rd observation will be median

Note: We need to arrange the observations before finding median in ascending or descending order

$\frac{x}{5} \frac{x}{4} \frac{x}{3} \frac{x}{2} x$

I arranged them in ascending order

Median = x/3

But we are given that median =12

Compare both the Values

x/3=12

x=36

Thus we get value of x=36

hope it helps mate!
