Quartile 3 (Q3) minus quartile 1 (Q1) is right for apex.

By definition the interquartile range or IQR is obtained when the 25th percentile or
Q_(1) is subtracted from the 75th percentile or
Q_(3).

Thus, from the above definition, the formula for IQR is:


IQR=Q_(3)-Q_(1)

As we can see from the provided options that the definition of IQR matches the expression provided in Option A and thus, Option A is the correct answer.
