Let X follows normal distribution with mean μ and median μ̃, then P(μ < X < μ̃) is equal to:

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2024 (Tier-I) Previous Year Paper (17-Sep-2024) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

0

For a normal distribution, the mean and the median coincide, meaning that they are equal. Therefore, the probability of X being between the mean and the median (μ < X < μ̃) is 0, since there is no area between the mean and the median for a symmetric distribution.
