The question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Choose the correct option.


Assertion (A)



Reason (R)



Median of 51, 70, 65, 82, 60, 68, 62, 95, 55, 64, 58, 75, 80, 85, 90 is 68.



When n observations are arranged in an ascending order and n is odd, then median = value of 1/2 (n + 1) th observation.


By arranging the data in ascending form, we get,


51, 55, 58, 60, 62, 64, 65, 68, 70, 75, 80, 82, 85, 90, 95


Here, n = 15 (odd)


Median = value of th term


= Value of 8th term


= 68


Means assertion is correct


Reason (R) is true and it is also the correct explanation of assertion (A).
