  2. B \(44\)
  3. C \(47\)
  4. D \(46\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(44\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}=10 \ldots \ldots \ldots(1) \) \( \text { Median }=18=\mathrm{M} \) \( \text { M.D. }=\frac{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}}\left|\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\mathrm{M}\right|}{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}}} \) \( 1.25=\frac{36+\mathrm{x}+2 \mathrm{y}}{40} \)…
