(pls explain with method)

Answer 1

The median for first 102 numbers will be the average of n/2 and n/2+1. Which is 102/2 and 102/2+1= 51 and 52. The average of 51 and 52= 51.5 

Next, Average of first 98 numbers will be the average of 98/2 and 98/2+1= 49 and 50. Their average comes out to be= 49.5

The difference = 51.5 - 49.5 = 2.

Answer=2.
