The numbers 11, 12, 14, \(x - 2\), \(x + 4\), \(x + 9\), 32, 38, 47 are arranged in ascending order, and their median is 24. Find the value of \(x\).

Q.The numbers 11, 12, 14, \(x - 2\), \(x + 4\), \(x + 9\), 32, 38, 47 are arranged in ascending order, and their median is 24. Find the value of \(x\).

Total number of terms = 9 \(\therefore\) Median = 5th term = \(x + 4\) \(\therefore x + 4 = 24\) \(\Rightarrow x = 20\) Therefore, the value of \(x\) is 20.
