(B) Arranging the data in ascending order of magnitude,we obtain:      Height (in $cm$)    $150$    $152$    $154$    $155$    $156$    $160$    $161$        Number of students    $8$    $4$    $3$    $7$    $3$    $12$    $4$        Cumulative frequency    $8$    $12$    $15$    $22$    $25$    $37$    $41$  Here,the total number of items $N = 41$,which is an odd number.Hence,the median is the $\left(\frac{N + 1}{2}\right)^{th}$ item.Median = $\left(\frac{41 + 1}{2}\right)^{th} = 21^{st}$ item.From the cumulative frequency table,we find that the $21^{st}$ item corresponds to a height of $155$ $cm$ (since all items from $16^{th}$ to $22^{nd}$ are equal to $155$).Therefore,the median is $155$ $cm$.

The following data gives the distribution of height of students. The median of the distribution is:

Height (in $cm$) $160$ $150$ $152$ $161$ $156$ $154$ $155$

No of students $12$ $8$ $4$ $4$ $3$ $3$ $7$
