B. the individual ages of all the businessmen in the group is sufficient because having the complete list of ages allows us to sort them and directly find the median, which is the middle value in a sorted list.
In contrast, options A and C do not provide enough information about the distribution of ages to determine the median.

for option A, if ages are 30 and 60 only then having mean of 45 wont signify that there are equal number of people of age 30 and 60 ? hence we can calculate the mean
also for option c, if we know how many are 30 and how many are 60 wont we know the median in that case ?
can somebody help here ?
