Number of terms in the given series are even,

∴ median = (sum of middle terms) ÷ 2

Given median = 2.5

(2 + x) ÷ 2 = 2.5

2 + x = 5

x = 5 - 2

x = 3

Median is areanging the numbers in order( if not in order)

In simple words meadian is mid point of numbers.

Then 2.5 can be mid of 2 and 3.

So ans = 3
