• A. $45$
• B. $49.5$
• C. $54$
• D. $56$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $54$

Terms are: $78,56,22,34,45,54,39,68,54,84.$
Arranging the terms in ascending order: $22,34,39,45,54,54,56,68,78,84$.
Since the number of terms are even, the median will be the mean of $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ terms:
Median $=\frac{54+54}{2}=54$
