The table above shows the noon temperature for seven cities designated A through G. If the median noon temperature of these cities is 40 F, then the noon temperature for city D could be any of the following except?
A 29F
B 35F
C 39F
D 40F
E 42F
7 Cities (A, B, C, D, E, F and G(=) with Median 40
i.e. 3 temperatures should be smaller than 40 and 3 should be greater than 40
The set after arranging the temperatures in increasing order looks like this {27, 33, t, 40, 44, 50, 68}
i.e. t ≤ 40
i.e. t can NOT be 42 out of options given
Answer: Option E
