Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The front row in a movie theatre has 23 seats. If you were asked to sit in the seat that occupied the median position, in which seat would you have to sit?
A
17
B
11
C
15
D
12
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Median=n+12=23+12=12 Median = n + 1 2 = 23 + 1 2 = 12 . Hence, it means that you shall sit on seat number 12.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rows consisting of 15 to 20 seats are common. Horizontal aisles are often required every 10 to 15 rows. To allow for proper ingress and regress, such aisles are often six to eight-feet wide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Seats in a theatre are typically numbered from aisle to wall, or, in the case of the center sections, from left to right. Seat numbering is also typically Odd numbers on the left, Even numbers on the Right, and sequentially in the 100’s in the center. The Rows are lettered front to back A-Z.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sit in the center two-thirds back. That means you should plant yourself two-thirds of the way toward the back of the theater, right in the middle. In terms of viewing, most seats in modern stadium theaters are 12-to-15 inches higher than the seats in front of them, allowing for unobstructed viewing.
