Which batch has the median yield among Batch A (120), Batch B (150), and Batch C (170)?

Which batch has the median yield among Batch A (120), Batch B (150), and Batch C (170)?

• A. Batch A
• B. Batch C
• C. Batch B
• D. Batch D

Answer: (C)

Finding the median means identifying the middle value when the numbers are ordered. The yields given are 120, 150, and 170. When sorted, they become 120, 150, 170, so the middle value is 150. This value comes from Batch B, so Batch B has the median yield. The other options point to the smallest yield (Batch A) and the largest yield (Batch C), and Batch D isn’t one of the three values being compared, so it can’t be the median among them.
