A certain list, L, contains a total of n numbers, not necessarily distinct, that are arranged in increasing order. If \(L_1\) is the list consisting of the first \(n_1\) numbers in L and \(L_2\) is the list consisting of the last \(n_2\) numbers in L, is 17 a mode for L ?
(1) 17 is a mode for \(L_1\) and 17 is a mode for \(L_2\).
(2) \(n_1 + n_2 = n\)

I have a doubt here. What if there is a case such as L: 2,8,5,17,17,4,8,8,8,5,4,17,17,8,13
Here L1 is first 5 no. 2,8,5,17,17
L2 is last 6 no.: 5,4,17,17,8,13
Here mode of L1 is 17 and mode of L2 is 17 but mode of L is 8.
That is why I chose C. Can some expert please clarify on this.
