 If the mean deviation about the median of numbers a,2a,3a,.50a is 50 , then |a| equals 

a
3
b
2
c
5
d
4

detailed solution

Correct option is D

From the given data, median A=25+262(a)=25.5a Required mean deviation about median =Σxi−An=a-25.5a+2a-25.5a+3a-25.5a+......+50a-25.5a50=2∣0.5+1.5+2.5+……24.550|a|=50 =1+3+5+.......+4950a=50⇒|a|=4
