a set s = { x , - 8 , - 7 , - 6 , 6 , 8 , 9 , y } with elements arranged in increasing order . if the median and the mean of the set are the same , what is the value of | x | - | y | ?
median of the set = ( - 6 + 6 ) / 2 = 0 as per statement , mean of the set = 0 mean of the set | y | - | x | + 23 - 21 = 0 ( where x is negative n y is positive ) | y | - | x | = - 2 so the absolute difference between two numbers is 2 answer c
subtract(subtract(subtract(add(add(9, 8), 6), 6), 7), 8)
