    Question

    40% is the passing criteria in an examination. Out of 9 students who appeared, 4 failed and the remaining received 80%, 55%, 52%, 66% and 81% marks. The median of the percentage marks is equal to:

    A.

    66%

    B.

    52%

    C.

    81%

    D.

    58%

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    Total students = 9

    4 students failed (i.e., scored < 40%)

    The remaining 5 students passed with scores: 80%, 55%, 52%, 66%, 81%

    Solution:

    Let’s denote failed students with marks < 40%, say: F1, F2, F3, F4 

    Arrange the 5 known values:
    52%, 55%, 66%, 80%, 81%

    Merge into one ordered list of 9 values:

    Since F1 – F4 < 40%, they will be placed before 52%.

    So full ordered list:
    F1, F2, F3, F4, 52, 55, 66, 80, 81

    The 5th value = 52%

    The median of the percentage marks is 52%.
