If the median and the range of four numbers \(\{x, y, 2x + y, x-y \}\) , where \(0 < y < x < 2y\) , are \(10\) and \(28\) respectively, then the mean of the numbers is

  1. A \(18\)
  2. B \(10\)
  3. C \(5\)
  4. D \(14\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(14\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since \(0 < y < x < 2y\) \(\therefore y > \frac{x}{2} \Rightarrow x - y < \frac{x}{2}\) \(\therefore x - y < y < x < 2x + y\) Hence median \( = \frac{{y + x}}{2} = 10\) \( \Rightarrow x + y = 20\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,....\left( i \right)\) And range…
