Answer:

Answer:

The value of x is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : If the median of x/5,x,x/4,x/3,x/2 is 8.

To find : What is the value of x?

Solution :

Data - \frac{x}{5},x,\frac{x}{4},\frac{x}{3},\frac{x}{2}

Median = 8

The median of the odd data is given by term \frac{n+1}{2}

2

n+1

i.e. \frac{5+1}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3

5+1

=

=3

So, The third term is the median of the data.

i.e. M=\frac{x}{3}M=

x=8\times 3x=8×3

x=24x=24
