Let the six numbers , be in A.P. and . If the mean of these six numbers is and their variance is , then 8 is equal to :
- A220
- B210
- C105
- D200
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Write the six terms of the A.P.
Let the six numbers in A.P. be
- Use the condition
We have So, a+d=5. \tag{1}
- Use the mean of the six numbers
The mean of six terms of an A.P. is the average of first and last term: Given mean is , so a+\frac{5d}{2}=\frac{19}{2}. \tag{2}
Multiply by : 2a+5d=19. \tag{3}
From (1), Substitute into (3): Then
So the six numbers are
- Compute the variance
Mean is
Deviations from mean:
Squares:
Sum of squares:
Variance is
Therefore,
- Check options
Thus the correct option is
