Solution

The correct option is B 19
Number of seats = 37

Median refers to the middle value.

37 is an odd number. So, for an odd number, the middle value can be found using the following formula:
$\frac{n + 1}{2}$

Where n = Total number of seats

Total number of seats, n = 37

Thus,
$Median = \frac{37 + 1}{2} = \frac{38}{2} = 19$

Therefore, Raina's seat number is 19.
