Correct answer: A
Step 1: Organize the data and calculate basic sums
The given data with frequency distribution is: First, let's arrange the data in ascending order of to make calculations for the median and other measures easier.
Now, let's calculate the total number of observations, . .
Step 2: Calculate the Mean (P)
The formula for the mean () of a frequency distribution is . Let's calculate :
.
Mean, .
So, (P) The mean of the above data is 6, which corresponds to (3) in List-II.
Step 3: Calculate the Median (Q)
To find the median, we need the cumulative frequency (c.f.). The total number of observations is (even). The median is the average of the and observations, i.e., the 10th and 11th observations.
Let's create the cumulative frequency table:
The cumulative frequency just greater than or equal to 10 is 13, which corresponds to . This means the 10th observation is 5. Since the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th observations are all 5, the 11th observation is also 5.
Median, .
So, (Q) The median of the above data is 5, which corresponds to (2) in List-II.
Step 4: Calculate the Mean Deviation about the Mean (R)
The formula for the mean deviation about the mean is . We have and .
Let's calculate :
| | | | | | :---: | :---: | :--------------------------: | :-----------------------: | | 3 | 5 | 3 | | | 4 | 4 | 2 | | | 5 | 4 | 1 | | | 8 | 2 | 2 | | | 10 | 2 | 4 | | | 11 | 3 | 5 | | | Total | 20 | | 54 |
.
So, (R) The mean deviation about the mean is 2.7, which corresponds to (4) in List-II.
Step 5: Calculate the Mean Deviation about the Median (S)
The formula for the mean deviation about the median is . We have and .
Let's calculate :
| | | | | | :---: | :---: | :-----------------------: | :-------------------: | | 3 | 5 | 2 | | | 4 | 4 | 1 | | | 5 | 4 | 0 | | | 8 | 2 | 3 | | | 10 | 2 | 5 | | | 11 | 3 | 6 | | | Total | 20 | | 48 |
.
So, (S) The mean deviation about the median is 2.4, which corresponds to (5) in List-II.
Step 6: Match the entries and select the correct option
Based on our calculations:
- (P) Mean is 6 (3)
- (Q) Median is 5 (2)
- (R) Mean deviation about mean is 2.7 (4)
- (S) Mean deviation about median is 2.4 (5)
The correct matching is .
This corresponds to option A.
