Assertion (A): Median of a data is the value of N/2, where N represents sum of all frequencies.
Reason (R): Median divides the whole distribution in two equal parts.
✅ Answer & Solution
The Assertion is not correct as stated — $\frac{N}{2}$ is only used to locate the cumulative-frequency position of the median class; the median itself is then computed using the median formula, not simply equal to $\frac{N}{2}$. So Assertion is FALSE. Reason is TRUE, since the median does divide the distribution into two equal halves.
