Correct answer: D

  1. Identify the data set

    The first nnn even natural numbers are 2,4,6,…,2n.2,4,6,\dots,2n.2,4,6,…,2n.

  2. Formula for variance

    Variance of observations x1,x2,…,xnx_1,x_2,\dots,x_nx1​,x2​,…,xn​ is σ2=1n∑xi2−(1n∑xi)2.\sigma^2=\frac{1}{n}\sum x_i^2-\left(\frac{1}{n}\sum x_i\right)^2.σ2=n1​∑xi2​−(n1​∑xi​)2.

  3. Use Statement-2 formulas

    For the numbers 2,4,6,…,2n2,4,6,\dots,2n2,4,6,…,2n, ∑i=1n2i=2∑i=1ni=2⋅n(n+1)2=n(n+1).\sum_{i=1}^n 2i=2\sum_{i=1}^n i=2\cdot \frac{n(n+1)}{2}=n(n+1).∑i=1n​2i=2∑i=1n​i=2⋅2n(n+1)​=n(n+1).

    Also, \sum_{i=1}^n (2i)^2=4\sum_{i=1}^n i^2=4\cdot \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}= rac{2n(n+1)(2n+1)}{3}.

  4. Compute the mean

    xˉ=1n∑i=1n2i=n(n+1)n=n+1.\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n 2i=\frac{n(n+1)}{n}=n+1.xˉ=n1​∑i=1n​2i=nn(n+1)​=n+1.

  5. Compute the variance

    σ2=1n⋅2n(n+1)(2n+1)3−(n+1)2\sigma^2=\frac{1}{n}\cdot \frac{2n(n+1)(2n+1)}{3}-(n+1)^2σ2=n1​⋅32n(n+1)(2n+1)​−(n+1)2 =2(n+1)(2n+1)3−(n+1)2=\frac{2(n+1)(2n+1)}{3}-(n+1)^2=32(n+1)(2n+1)​−(n+1)2 =(n+1)(2(2n+1)3−(n+1))=(n+1)\left(\frac{2(2n+1)}{3}-(n+1)\right)=(n+1)(32(2n+1)​−(n+1)) =(n+1)(4n+2−3n−33)=(n+1)\left(\frac{4n+2-3n-3}{3}\right)=(n+1)(34n+2−3n−3​) =(n+1)(n−13)=(n+1)\left(\frac{n-1}{3}\right)=(n+1)(3n−1​) =n2−13.=\frac{n^2-1}{3}.=3n2−1​.

  6. Check Statement-1

    Statement-1 claims variance is n2−14.\frac{n^2-1}{4}.4n2−1​.

    But we obtained n2−13.\frac{n^2-1}{3}.3n2−1​.

    Hence, Statement-1 is false.

  7. Check Statement-2

    The standard formulas ∑i=1ni=n(n+1)2,∑i=1ni2=n(n+1)(2n+1)6\sum_{i=1}^n i=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}, \qquad \sum_{i=1}^n i^2=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}∑i=1n​i=2n(n+1)​,∑i=1n​i2=6n(n+1)(2n+1)​ are correct.

    Hence, Statement-2 is true.

  8. Choose the correct option

    • Statement-1: False
    • Statement-2: True

    Therefore, the correct option is D.\boxed{\text{D}}.D​.
