Q13 of 145 Page 407

If the median of and , where x > 0, is 8, find the value of x.

Arranging the values x/5, x/4, x/2, x and x/3 in ascending order, we get

x/5, x/4, x/3, x/2 and x


Here, median is x/3 as it is the middle value amongst all values.


Given: median = 8


⇒ x/3 = 8


⇒ x = 24


Hence, x = 24
