Solution

The correct option is D 20
The ten observations are 6, 14, 15, 17, x+1, 2x-13, 30, 32, 34, 43

Since the number of terms is 10 which is even, the median will be average of the 5th and 6th terms

5th term = x +1, 6th term = 2x - 13

Median=(x+1)+(2x13)224=(x+1)+(2x13)23x122=24
3x12=48
3x=60
x=20
