If A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J are in an decreasing Arithmetic Progression as such. Then Which of the following operations will result in either mean or the median being modified.
A) A is replaced by J
B) A and H are removed
C) B and I are removed
D) A,B,C,H,I,J are removed
E) A and D are removed
Choose the correct answer
A) 1) A and B
B) 2) A and E
C) 3) A,B,E
D) 4) All of them
E) 5) None of them
Here answer will be (C).   There are 10 equidistant numbers on the number line.   Mean and median will be the average of middle two numbers.   If you remove two numbers which is equidistant from either extreme (e.g. B and I), the total deviation on either side of the mean stays the same so mean stays the same. Also, the median is still the average of middle two numbers. Other changes will affect the mean and median.   Answer: 3) A,B,E
