Question

If the difference of mode and median of a data is 24, then the difference of median and mean is

(a) 12
(b) 24
(c) 8
(d) 36

Answer 1

Given: Mode − Median = 24

We know that

Mode = 3Median − 2Mean

Now,

Mode − Median = 2(Median − Mean)

⇒ 24 = 2(Median − Mean)

⇒ Median − Mean = 12

Hence, the correct option is (a).
