3 4 7 11 0 16 9 |
3 7 14 25 25 41 50 |
|
N = |
Now, 
The cumulative frequency is 25 and corresponding class is 21 - 28.
Thus, the median class is 21 - 28
l = 21, h = 7, f = 11, c = C.F.
preceding class 21 - 28 is 14 and 
=
25
Hence the median is
28.
Solution 3
We prepare the frequency table given below:
|
Daily wages |

40 32 48 22 8 |
40 72 120 142 150 |
|
N = |
Now, N = 150, therefore 
The cumulative frequency just greater than 75 is 120 and corresponding class is 200 - 300.
Thus, the median class is 200 - 300
l = 200, h = 100, f = 48
c = C.F. preceding median class = 72 and
Hence the median of daily wages is Rs. 206.25.

5 6 15 10 5 4 2 2 |
5 11 26 36 41 45 47 49 |
|
|
Now, N = 49
The cumulative frequency just greater than 24.5 is 26 and corresponding class is 15 - 20.
Thus, the median class is 15 - 20
l
= 15, h = 5, f = 15
c = CF preceding median class = 11 and
Median of frequency distribution is 19.5
Solution 5
We prepare the cumulative frequency table as given below:

4 5 13 20 14 7 4 |
4 9 22 42 56 63 67 |
|
N = |
Now, N = 67
The cumulative frequency just greater than 33.5 is 42 and the corresponding class 125 - 145.
Thus, the median class is 125 - 145
l
= 125, h = 20, 
and
c = CF preceding the median class = 22, 
= 33.5
Hence median of electricity consumed is 136.5

|
N = |
N = 100, 
The cumulative frequency just greater than 50 is 56 and the corresponding class is 150 - 155
Thus, the median class is 150 - 155
l = 150, h = 5, f = 22, c = C.F.preceding median class = 34
Hence, Median = 153.64

Median = 24 
Median
class is 20 - 30
l = 20, h = 10, f = x, c = C.F. preceding median class = 30
Hence, the missing frequency is 25.
Solution 8

Solution 10
Let 
be
the frequencies of class intervals 0 - 10 and 40 - 50
Median is 32.5 which lies in 30 - 40, so the median class is 30 - 40
l = 30, h = 10, f = 12, N = 40 and

The cumulative frequency just greater than 170 is 199 and the corresponding class is 32.5 - 39.5.
Median
class is 32.5 - 39.5
l
= 32.5, h = 7, f = 68, c = C.F. of preceding median class = 131
Hence median is 36.5 years

The cumulative frequency just greater than 49 is 70 and corresponding class is 90.5 - 100.5.
median
class is 90.5 - 100.5
l

The cumulative frequency just greater than 61.5 is 65.
The
corresponding median class is 15.5 - 20.5.
Then the median class is 15.5 - 20.5
l
= 15.5, h = 5, f = 32, c = C.F. preceding median class = 33

Correct option: (d)
Mean of 20 numbers = 0
Hence, sum of 20 numbers = 0 x 20 = 0

sum of 11 numbers is (S) and the sum of remaining 9 numbers is (-S),
…….
sum of 19 numbers is (S) and the 20th number is (-S), then their sum is zero.
