Find the Median of the set of integers A?

1) Mean of the set A is 10
2) Range of the set A is 2

st 1 .
since we dont know the number of terms for the set A . not sufficient

st2.
max - min =2
A can be ( 2, 4 ) , ( 6,8 ) , (20,22) . not sufficient

together ,
range is 2 and mean is 10 .
either the set can have 2 or 3 integers
if there are 2 integer , then the sum is 20 . while forming the set keep in mind the range is 2 .
hence A= 9 ,11
mean = median

if there are 3 integer , then the sum is 30 .while forming the set keep in mind the range is 2
hence A = 9 , 10 , 11
mean =median

Ans is C

Find the Median of the set of integers A?

1) Mean of the set A is 10
2) Range of the set A is 2

This is a tricky question, i would like to provide the algebraic solution :-D

It is clear that:

1) Not Sufficient

2) Not Sufficient

1+2) Let the minimum of the sets = a --> maximum of the set = a+2 in which a is an integer.

Mean of the set = 10 --> a < 10 < a+2 --> a = 9 --> a+2 = 11 --> Distinct values of all elements in the set are {9, 10, 11}.

In general, let x, y, z is the frequency of 9, 10, 11 respectively.

We have mean = 10 <---> \(\frac{(9x+10y+11z)}{(x+y+z)}\) = 10 <---> x = z or the number of 9 is equal to the number of 11 ---> 10 is in the middle of the set.

----> median = 10 ---> Sufficient.
