If you list the ages of the employees from lowest to highest, the median age would be the 81st one because there are 161 total employeed. There are 80 from 1-80 and 80 from 82-161, so 81 must be the middle. The chart tells us that 29 employees have an age less than 20, and 58 employees have an age between 20-29. 29+58=87, so the 81st employee must be in that 20-29 range.

I guess median like middle value if things are sorted. ( I dont actually remember )

If that is true, the answer would be A.

Total Employees : = 161
So if they are sorted by age, then median : 81st employee's age

The chart given actually provides us the sorted data:
So we need to find in which range 81st employee falls.

<20 : 29 ( Total : 29)
20-29 : 58 ( Total 87 ) 81st lies here. Ans: 20-29
