(B) First,we calculate the cumulative frequency $(cf)$ and the total frequency $(N)$:$x_i$$f_i$$cf$$6$$4$$4$$12$$7$$11$$18$$9$$20$$24$$18$$38$$30$$15$$53$$36$$10$$63$$42$$5$$68$Here,$N = 68$,which is even. The median is the average of the $(\frac{N}{2})^{th}$ and $(\frac{N}{2} + 1)^{th}$ observations,i.e.,the $34^{th}$ and $35^{th}$ observations.Looking at the cumulative frequency,both the $34^{th}$ and $35^{th}$ observations fall in the class where $x_i = 24$.Therefore,$	ext{Median} = 24$.Now,we calculate the mean deviation about the median using the formula $	ext{MD}(	ext{Median}) = \frac{\sum f_i |x_i - 	ext{Median}|}{N}$:$\sum f_i |x_i - 24| = 4|6-24| + 7|12-24| + 9|18-24| + 18|24-24| + 15|30-24| + 10|36-24| + 5|42-24|$$= 4(18) + 7(12) + 9(6) + 18(0) + 15(6) + 10(12) + 5(18)$$= 72 + 84 + 54 + 0 + 90 + 120 + 90 = 510$$	ext{MD}(	ext{Median}) = \frac{510}{68} = 7.5$.
