Problem Solving The correct answer is A. Since there are 11 terms in the initial series, median will be the 6th term of the series. (Of course the series must be either in the ascending or descending order of magnitude) Now if we add the number 14 to this series, assuming that the series is in ascending order of magnitude, the 6th term now will be 14 and the 7th term will be 15. Since there are 12 terms now, median is the average of the 6th and the 7th terms. So,median of the resulting series= (14+15)/2=14.5 Hence, option A. Click here for the next week's Punch |
