Detailed Solution

  The given data is,
41,43,127,99,61,92,71,58,57
We need to find the new median if 58 is replaced by 85.
We can arrange the given data in ascending order as shown below:
41,43,57,58,61,71,92,99,127
Total number of observations, n=9
When n is odd,
Median=(n+12)th term
Median=(9+12)th term
Median=(102)th term
Median=(5)th term
Median=61
When 58 is replaced by 85, the data can arranged as follows:
41,43,57,61,71,85,92,99,127
New median=(5)th term
New median=71
Thus the new median is 71 if 58 is replaced by 85.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
