medium
If the mean deviation about median for the number $3,5,7,2\,k , 12,16,21,24$ arranged in the ascending order, is $6$ then the median is
A
$11.5$
B
$10.5$
C
$12$
D
$11$
(JEE MAIN-2022)
Solution
Median $=\frac{2 k+12}{2}=k+6$
Mean deviation $=\sum \frac{\left|x_{i}-M\right|}{n}=6$
$(k+3)+(k+1)+(k-1)+(6-k)+(6-k)$
$\frac{+(10-k)+(15-k)+(18-k)}{8}$
$\therefore \quad \frac{58-2 k}{8}=6$
$k=5$
Median $=\frac{2 \times 5+12}{2}=11$
