Solution :
(b): Mind of a Mathematician It is easy to mentally solve this problem by arranging 40 students \[\left( \sum{f=40} \right)\] in terms of their heights Median will represent average height of 20th & 21st student. First 12 students are of 160 cm, another 4 students are of 165 cm and next 6 students are of 170 cm. Within this, comes both 20th & 21st students. \[\therefore \] Median height =170 cm.You need to login to perform this action.
