(B) First,we arrange the observations in ascending order:$34, 38, 42, 44, 46, 48, 54, 55, 63, 70$Here,$n = 10$ (even).The median $(M) = \frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th} 	ext{ term} + (\frac{n}{2} + 1)^{th} 	ext{ term}}{2} = \frac{46 + 48}{2} = 47$.Now,calculate the sum of absolute deviations from the median:$\Sigma |x_i - M| = |34-47| + |38-47| + |42-47| + |44-47| + |46-47| + |48-47| + |54-47| + |55-47| + |63-47| + |70-47|$$= 13 + 9 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 7 + 8 + 16 + 23 = 86$.Mean deviation about the median $= \frac{\Sigma |x_i - M|}{n} = \frac{86}{10} = 8.6$.
