Question

The mean and the median of the following ten numbers in increasing order $10, 22, 26, 29, 34, x 42, 67, 70,\, y$ are $42$ and $35$ respectively, then $\frac{y}{x}$ is equal to :

• A. 44745
• B. 44808
• C. 44744
• D. 44776

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

44745

Answer 2

$\frac{34+x}{2} =35$ $x=36$ $42 = \frac{10+22+26+29+34+36+42+67+70+y}{10}$ $420-336 =y \Rightarrow y = 84$ $\frac{y}{x} = \frac{84}{36} = \frac{7}{3}$
