Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C.143

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of "n" numbers is defined as the middle-most value of the given numbers.

To, find the median, first arrange the given numbers in an ascending order.

case 1: if n is odd,

           The median is: $\frac{n+1}{2} th\ term$

case 1: if n is even,

           The median is the average of the two middle numbers:

           The median is $\frac{\frac{n}{2} th\ term + (\frac{n}{2} +1) th\ term}{2}$.

Here, the ascending order of the given numbers is:

                                           123  ,  140  ,  143  ,  155  ,  167

here, n=5,

so the median is the $\frac{n+1}{2} th\ term$, i.e., $\frac{5+1}{2} th\ term$

here, the 3rd term is 143.

Hence the median is 143.
