Answer

On arranging the given set of data in ascending order, we get :

4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 10, 10, 12, 12

Number of observations, n = 9 (odd)

Median = [n+12]th\Big[\dfrac{n+1}{2}\Big]^{th} term

= [9+12]th\Big[\dfrac{9+1}{2}\Big]^{th} term

= [102]th\Big[\dfrac{10}{2}\Big]^{th} term

= 5th5^{th} term

= 10

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
