The median of the series `8,12,15,7,x,19,22` lies in the interval

A

[12, 15]

B

[7, 15]

C

[15, 17]

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Let us arrange given values (exept x ) in ascending order as follows:
`7,8,12,15,19,22`
If `12 lt x lt 15`, then x itself is the median.
If `x lt 12`, then median = 12
If ` x gt 15`, then median = 15.
Hence, median lies in the interval [12, 15].
