Solution

The correct option is C: 32

Given observations are

x7,x5,x6,x,x4,x3,x2

Arranging in ascending order
x7,x5,x6,x4,x3,x2,x(=x1)

[When numerators are same in fractions, then least denominator fraction is the largest fraction.]

Given, Median =8
No. of observations, n=7
Since number of observation is odd
Median =(n+12)th=(7+12)th observation. =4th observation =
8=x4
x=32
