Detailed Solution

It is given that, the median of the data 26, 56, 32, 33, 60, 17, 34, 29, 45 is 33.
26 is replaced by 62.
The ascending order of the numbers are given by,
17, 26, 29, 32, 33, 34, 45, 56, 60.
According to the condition, if the number 26 is replaced by 62, then new median becomes as-
The ascending order of the numbers is 17, 29, 32, 33, 34, 45, 56, 60, 62.
If n is odd, then median is the value of n+1 2 th   term.
Here, n=9  , median is the value of 5th term.
Median =34  
The value of median is 34.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
