(B) The given numbers are $a, 2a, 3a, \dots, 50a$. The total number of terms is $n = 50$.Since $n$ is even,the median is the average of the $25^{th}$ and $26^{th}$ terms:$	ext{Median} = \frac{25a + 26a}{2} = 25.5a$.Mean deviation about the median is given by $\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} |x_i - 	ext{Median}| = 50$.$\frac{1}{50} \sum_{i=1}^{50} |ia - 25.5a| = 50$.$\sum_{i=1}^{50} |i - 25.5| |a| = 2500$.$|a| (|25.5 - 1| + |25.5 - 2| + \dots + |25.5 - 50|) = 2500$.$|a| (24.5 + 23.5 + \dots + 0.5 + 0.5 + \dots + 24.5) = 2500$.$|a| 	imes 2 	imes (0.5 + 1.5 + \dots + 24.5) = 2500$.$|a| 	imes 2 	imes \frac{25}{2} (0.5 + 24.5) = 2500$.$|a| 	imes 25 	imes 25 = 2500$.$|a| 	imes 625 = 2500$.$|a| = 4$.

Class interval	$0$-$10$	$10$-$20$	$20$-$30$	$30$-$40$	$40$-$50$	$50$-$60$	$60$-$70$
