by Auzbee » Mon Dec 31, 2007 1:52 am
What is the median value of the set R, if for every term in the set, Rn = Rn–1 + 3?

(1) The first term of set R is 15.

(2) The mean of set R is 36.

Evenly distributed terms have mean = median

Like say 1 2 3 4

Mean = 2.5
Median = 2.5


So in this case also 30 33 36 39 etc mean = median .. Hence B

Nice question :o
