First sort the data:
349, 352, 354, 374, 374, 396, 400, 400, 426, 427, 434, 445

n = 12, so median is average of 6th and 7th values = (396+400)/2 = 398.
Lower half = first 6 values → Q1 = average of 3rd and 4th = (354+374)/2 = 364.
Upper half = last 6 values → Q3 = average of 3rd and 4th = (426+427)/2 = 426.5.

IQR = Q3 − Q1 = 426.5 − 364 = 62.5.

Answer: B (62.50).
