1. Ans. (c) Out of the given alternatives, mean – deviation is not a measure of central tendency.
2. Ans. (b) The class mark of a class in any distribution is the value exactly at the middle of the class
Interval. It is also called the mid – value to the class interval and is equal to the average of the lower
limit and the upper limit of that class – interval. Therefore, the average of any two consecutive class
marks gives the upper limit of the first class – interval and the lower limit of the next class interval.

∴ For the given class marks, we have : The lower limit of 2nd class interval = = 8 ; The upper

Now, we have : ∑f i = 120 ( given) . ∴ 68 + f1 + f 2 = 120 ⇒ f1 + f 2 = 52 ….(i) Also, x = 50 (given)

14. Ans. (b) The sum of the squares of the deviations is least when taken about the mean.
15. Ans. (d) On dividing each entry in a data by a non – zero number ' a ' the arithmetic mean of the new
data is divided by a .
16. Ans. (b) We know that : If each observations is increased by a constant a , then the mean is also
increased by a . ∴ If the mean of 12 numbers = 26 , then the mean when each number is increased by
5 = 26 + 5 = 31 .
17. Ans. (b) The mean of four observations is x = 20 . The mean of these four observations, when C is
added to each of these observations = 22 . Now, if each observations is increased by C , then the mean
is also increased by C . ∴ x + C = 22 ⇒ C = 22 − x = 22 − 20 = 2 .
18. Ans. (b) Number of student in the class, n = 10 . Mean marks of the class, x = 66 . ∴ Total marks ( of
all the 10 students) = n x = 10 × 66 = 660 . Total marks of all the students of new class

19. Ans. (d) The average weight of 35 students = 40 kg. ∴ Total weight of all the 35 students = ( 35 × 40 )

teacher is 58 kg.
20. Ans. (c) Let the number of boys and girls in the class be n1 and n2 respectively. And let x1 and x2 be
the mean marks of the boys and the girls respectively. Then, n1 = 70, n1 + n2 = 100 and so
n2 = 100 − 70 = 30 . Also, x1 = 75 . The mean marks of all the 100 students of the class is X = 72 .
Now, X =
n1 x1 + n2 x2
⇒ 72 =

26. Ans. (d) The observation which occurs most frequently in a sequence is known as the mode of the
data.
27. Ans. (d) In the given ungrouped data, the item 7 is repeated maximum number of times. ∴ Mode of
the given series is 7.
28. Ans. (b) From the given ( Discrete Frequency Distribution) table it is clear that there is maximum
number of children (16) having weight 46 kg. i.e.,, the weight of 46 kg has the maximum frequency.
Hence, the mode of the given distribution = 46 .
29. Ans. (c) In the given data, we have : Modal class i.e.,the class with the maximum frequency is 15–20 ;
l = lower limit of the modal class = 15 ; f m = frequency of the modal class = 30 ; f m −1 = frequency of
the class preceding the modal class = 25 ; fm+1 = frequency of the class succeeding the modal class = 16

32. Ans. (c) For a moderately skewed distribution, the mean, median and mode are related as
Mode = 3 Median −2 Mean. Here, Median = 36 , Mean = 34 . ∴ Mode = 3 × 36 − 2 × 34 = 108 − 68 = 40

41. Ans. (b) We know that : If in a series, each of the observations is increased by a constant k , then the

44. Ans. (c) The S.D. of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 is 2. ∴ The S.D. of

47. Ans. (d) We know that : If each observation is multiplied by a non – zero real number α , then the
mean of the new observations is α x . ∴ If the mean of the given series of observations is 8, then the
mean of the sequence obtained by multiplying each observation by 3 is equal to 3 × 8 i.e., 24.
Also, if in a sequence, each of the observations is multiplied by a scalar α , then the value of the
2
standard deviation is multiplied by α and consequently the value of the variance is multiplied by α .
∴ If the variance of the given sequence of observations is 16,then the variance of the sequence
obtained by
multiplying each observation by 3 is equal to 32 ×16 i.e., 144.

73. Ans. (d) If each item of a data is increased or decreased by the same constant, the standard deviation
of the data remains unchanged.
74. Ans. (c) The runs scored by two batsmen in their last ten matches are as follws
Batsman A : 30, 91,0, 64, 42, 80, 30,5,117,71 Batsman B : 53, 46,48,50,53, 53,58, 60, 57,52
30 + 91 + 0 + 64 + 42 + 80 + 30 + 5 + 117 + 71 530
Mean for batsman A = = = 53

53 + 46 + 48 + 50 + 53 + 53 + 58 + 60 + 57 + 52 53
Mean for batsman B = = = 53
10 10
Also , the median is obtained by first arranging the data in ascending or descending order and applying
the rules
To apply the formula to obtain median first arrange the data in ascending order
For batsman A 0 5 30 30 42 64 71 80 91 117
For batsman B 46 48 50 52 53 53 53 57 58 60
Hence we have n = 10 which is even number . So median is the mean of 5th and 6th observations .

79. Ans. (d), 360 = 233251 = 2 a 3b5c Number of odd divisors of 360 = ( b + 1)( c + 1) = 3 × 2 = 6
and odd divisor are 1,3,5,9,15,45
Sum of all odd divisors 1 + 3 + 5 + 9 + 15 + 45 = 78
Sum of odd divisors 78
Mean of odd divisors = = = 13
Number of odd divisors 6

Solving (i) and (ii), we get f1 = 28, f 2 = 24
87. Ans. (b), Incorrect sum of all items = 78.4 × 25 = 1960 kg ∴ Correct sum = 1960 − 69 + 96 = 1987 kg

121. Ans. (b), Let the observations be x1 , x2 ,....., x20 and x be their mean.
Given that variance = 5 and n = 20 .

We know that, Variance (σ 2 ) = ∑ ∑ ∑( x − x )
2 2 2
( xi − x ) , i.e.,5 = ( xi − x ) or i = 100 …..(i)
n i =1 20 i =1 i =1
If each observation is multiplied by 2, and the new resulting observation are yi , then
1 1 20 1 20 1 20 1
yi = 2 xi i.e., xi = yi Therefore, y = ∑ yi = ∑ 2 xi = 2 ⋅ ∑ xi i.e., y = 2 x or x = y
2 n i =1 20 i =1 20 i =1 2
2
1 1 
20 20
Substituting the value of xi and x in (i), we get ∑  yi − y  = 100, i.e., ∑ ( yi − y ) = 400

i =1  2 2  i =1

Thus the variance of new observations = × 400 = 20

122. Ans. (a), Let the other two observation be x and y. Therefore, the series is 1, 2, 6, x, y.

Now, Mean ( x ) = 4.4 = or 22 = 9 + x + y Therefore, x + y = 13 ……(i)

Also, variance = 8.24 = ( xi − x ) i.e.,

8.24 = ( 3.4 ) + ( 2.4 ) + (1.6 ) + x 2 + y 2 − 2 × 4.4 ( x + y ) + 2 × ( 4.4 )  or

41.20 = 11.56 + 5.76 + 2.56 + x 2 + y 2 − 8.8 × 13 + 38.72 . Therefore x 2 + y 2 = 97 ..... ( ii )
But from (i), we have x 2 + y 2 + 2 xy = 169 ..... ( iii ) From (ii) and (iii), we have 2 xy = 72 ...... ( iv )
2
Subtracting (ii) and (iii),we get x 2 + y 2 − 2 xy = 97 − 72 i.e., ( x − y ) = 25 or x − y = ± 5 ..... ( v ) So,
from (i) and (v), we get x = 9 y = 4 when x − y = 5 or x = 4, y = 9 when x − y = −5 Thus, the
remaining observations are 4 and 9

144. Ans. (a), To compare the variability, we have to calculate their coefficients of variation. Given,
variance of height = 127.69 cm 2 . Therefore, standard deviation of height = 127.69 = 11.3cm
Also, Variance of weight = 23.1361kg 2 . Therefore, standard deviation of weight = 23.1361 = 4.81 kg
standard Deviation
Now, the coefficient of variations (C.Vs.) are given by (C.V.) in height = × 100
Mean
11.3 4.81
= × 100 = 6.95 and (C.V.) in weights = × 100 = 9.18 . Clearly C.V. in weight is greater than
162.6 52.36
the C.V. in height. Therefore, we can say that weights show more variability than heights.
145. Ans. (a), The variance of the distribution of wages in plant A (σ 12 ) = 81 . Therefore, standard deviation
of the distribution of wages in plant A (σ 1 ) = 9 . Also, the variance of the distribution of wages in plant
B (σ 22 ) = 100 .Therefore, standard deviation of the distribution of wages in plant B (σ 2 ) = 10 . Since the
average monthly wages in both the plants is same, i.e., Rs. 2500, therefore, the plant with greater
standard deviation will have more variability. Thus, the plant B has greater variability in the individual
wages.

S = a + ( a + d ) + ( a + 2d ) + ..... + ( a + 2md ) = [ 2a + 2md ] = ( 2m + 1)( a + md )
