This question was previously asked in
RRB Group D 2025 Question Paper (18-Aug-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

46.2

Empirical formula: Mode = 3 × Median − 2 × Mean.

49.7 = 3 × Median − 88.8, so 3 × Median = 138.5.

Median = 46.17, which is 46.2 to one decimal place.

Hence, the answer is 46.2.
