Solution

The correct option is B greater than
Since the given data represents the asymmetric distribution, the measure of centre will be given by its median.

By car :
6,7,7,8,9,9,9,10,10

Measure of centre = Median = 9 mins

By motorcycle:
6,6,7,7,8,8,8,9,9
Measure of centre = Median = 8 mins

Therefore, Measure of centre (car) is greater than measure of centre(motorcyle).
