    DIRECTIONS: Passage ? 2 Read the passages given below and answer the questions that follow. If a set of data contains a few ''very high scores" or "very few scores", the mean does not satisfactorily represent the data. In such situations it is often more desirable to use the middle score, called the median, as the representative score. The median of a set of numbers is the middle number when all the numbers are arranged in order of size, i.e., in descending or ascending order. Median weekly salary of workers in a firm whose salaries are Rs. 84, Rs. 60 and Rs. 40, is

    A)  Rs. 84                                    

    B)  Rs. 60

    C)  Rs. 40                                    

    D)  Rs. 50

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

         Arrange salaries in descending order: Rs. 84, Rs. 60, Rs. 40. Number of salaries = 3 Median salary = Rs. 60 (middle value)
