(A) The given observations are already in ascending order.Adding a column for cumulative frequencies $(c.f.)$:						$x_i$			$f_i$			$c.f.$							$15$			$3$			$3$							$21$			$5$			$8$							$27$			$6$			$14$							$30$			$7$			$21$							$35$			$8$			$29$			Here,$N = \sum f_i = 29$,which is odd.Median $= \left(\frac{N+1}{2}\right)^{th}$ observation $= \left(\frac{29+1}{2}\right)^{th} = 15^{th}$ observation.This observation lies in the cumulative frequency $21$,for which the corresponding value is $x_i = 30$.So,Median $(M) = 30$.Calculating $|x_i - M|$ and $f_i|x_i - M|$:						$x_i$			$f_i$			$|x_i - 30|$			$f_i|x_i - 30|$							$15$			$3$			$15$			$45$							$21$			$5$			$9$			$45$							$27$			$6$			$3$			$18$							$30$			$7$			$0$			$0$							$35$			$8$			$5$			$40$			Sum $\sum f_i|x_i - M| = 45 + 45 + 18 + 0 + 40 = 148$.Mean Deviation about Median $= \frac{1}{N} \sum f_i|x_i - M| = \frac{148}{29} \approx 5.10$.
