What is the median mark?

A.

1

B.

2

C.

3

D.

4

Correct answer is C

Total frequency = 1 + 2 + 7 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 22

  Median is the middle number

 = Nth2

  term = 22th2 = 11th term

  Going in ascending order, 11th term is 3, going in descending order 11th term is 3

  Median = 3 + 32 = 62 = 3

Make T the subject of the relation.

A.

T = R+P315Q

B.

T = R15P3Q

C.

T =R - 15P3Q

D.

T = 15R+QP3

Correct answer is C

P = (Q(RT)15)13

take cube of both sides

P3=Q(RT)15

cross multiply

15P3=Q(RT)

15P3Q = R - T 

T = R - 15P3Q
