Correct answer: B

  1. Write the six terms of the A.P.

Let the six numbers in A.P. be a1=a, a2=a+d, a3=a+2d, a4=a+3d, a5=a+4d, a6=a+5d.a_1=a,\, a_2=a+d,\, a_3=a+2d,\, a_4=a+3d,\, a_5=a+4d,\, a_6=a+5d.a1​=a,a2​=a+d,a3​=a+2d,a4​=a+3d,a5​=a+4d,a6​=a+5d.

  1. Use the condition a1+a3=10a_1+a_3=10a1​+a3​=10

We have a1+a3=a+(a+2d)=2a+2d=10.a_1+a_3=a+(a+2d)=2a+2d=10.a1​+a3​=a+(a+2d)=2a+2d=10. So, a+d=5. \tag{1}

  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: xˉ=a1+a62=a+(a+5d)2=a+5d2.\bar x=\frac{a_1+a_6}{2}=\frac{a+(a+5d)}{2}=a+\frac{5d}{2}.xˉ=2a1​+a6​​=2a+(a+5d)​=a+25d​. Given mean is 192\frac{19}{2}219​, so a+\frac{5d}{2}=\frac{19}{2}. \tag{2}

Multiply by 222: 2a+5d=19. \tag{3}

From (1), a=5−d.a=5-d.a=5−d. Substitute into (3): 2(5−d)+5d=192(5-d)+5d=192(5−d)+5d=19 10−2d+5d=1910-2d+5d=1910−2d+5d=19 3d=93d=93d=9 d=3.d=3.d=3. Then a=5−3=2.a=5-3=2.a=5−3=2.

So the six numbers are 2,5,8,11,14,17.2,5,8,11,14,17.2,5,8,11,14,17.

  1. Compute the variance

Mean is xˉ=192=9.5.\bar x=\frac{19}{2}=9.5.xˉ=219​=9.5.

Deviations from mean: 2−9.5=−7.5,5−9.5=−4.5,8−9.5=−1.5,2-9.5=-7.5,\quad 5-9.5=-4.5,\quad 8-9.5=-1.5,2−9.5=−7.5,5−9.5=−4.5,8−9.5=−1.5, 11−9.5=1.5,14−9.5=4.5,17−9.5=7.5.11-9.5=1.5,\quad 14-9.5=4.5,\quad 17-9.5=7.5.11−9.5=1.5,14−9.5=4.5,17−9.5=7.5.

Squares: (−7.5)2=56.25,(−4.5)2=20.25,(−1.5)2=2.25,(-7.5)^2=56.25,\quad (-4.5)^2=20.25,\quad (-1.5)^2=2.25,(−7.5)2=56.25,(−4.5)2=20.25,(−1.5)2=2.25, (1.5)2=2.25,(4.5)2=20.25,(7.5)2=56.25.(1.5)^2=2.25,\quad (4.5)^2=20.25,\quad (7.5)^2=56.25.(1.5)2=2.25,(4.5)2=20.25,(7.5)2=56.25.

Sum of squares: 56.25+20.25+2.25+2.25+20.25+56.25=157.5.56.25+20.25+2.25+2.25+20.25+56.25=157.5.56.25+20.25+2.25+2.25+20.25+56.25=157.5.

Variance is σ2=157.56=26.25=1054.\sigma^2=\frac{157.5}{6}=26.25=\frac{105}{4}.σ2=6157.5​=26.25=4105​.

Therefore, 8σ2=8⋅1054=210.8\sigma^2=8\cdot \frac{105}{4}=210.8σ2=8⋅4105​=210.

  1. Check options

Thus the correct option is B: 210.\boxed{\text{B: }210}.B: 210​.
