The correct answer is [A]

Mean = 72
Total marks = mean x number of pupils
= 72 x 10 = 720
Value of x
X = 720-the total of the given marks
Total of the given marks
66 + 86 + 63 + 80 + 79 + 69 + 85 + 63 + 88 = 679
X= 720 -679 = 41
Median = The middle mark when the marks are arranged in ascending order
41, 63, 63, 66, 69, 79, 80, 85, 86, 88
