numbers in set 2

by sanju09 » Thu Jul 29, 2010 5:23 am
Set 1: 13, 10, 8, 2

Set 2: 13, 11, 3, 2, x

Is the median of the numbers in set 1 above, equal to the median of the numbers in set 2?

1. 8 < x < 10.
2. The sum of numbers in set 2 is 38.

it will be B

A is not the answer because x can take fractional values
