If the mean of the numbers $27 + x$, $31 + x$, $89 + x$, $107 + x,\,156 + x$ is $82,$ then the mean of $130 + x,\,126 + x,\,68 + x,\,50 + x,\,1 + x$ is
Answera
(a) Given,
$82 = \frac{{(27 + x) + (31 + x) + (89 + x) + (107 + x) + (156 + x)}}{5}$
==> $82 \times 5 = 410 + 5x$ ==> $410 - 410 = 5x$
==> $x = 0$
Required mean is,
$\bar x = \frac{{130 + x + 126 + x + 68 + x + 50 + x + 1 + x}}{5}$
$\bar x = \frac{{375 + 5x}}{5}$
$ = \frac{{375 + 0}}{5}$$ = \frac{{375}}{5}$= $75.$

$n = \sum f = 159$. Here $n = 159$, which is odd
$\therefore $Median number$ = \frac{1}{2}(n + 1) = \frac{1}{2}(159 + 1) = 80$,
which is in the class $30-40$. (see the row of cumulative frequency $95$, which contains $80$).
Hence median class is $30-40$.
$\therefore$ We have,
$l$ = Lower limit of median class = $30$
$f$ = Frequency of median class = $45$
$C$ = Total of all frequencies preceding median class = $50$
$i$ = Width of class interval of median class = $10$
$\therefore$ Required median $ = l + \frac{{\frac{N}{2} - C}}{f} \times i$ $ = 30 + \frac{{\frac{{159}}{2} - 50}}{{45}} \times 10 = 30 + \frac{{295}}{{45}} = 36.55$.

As the standard deviation only depend upon total no of values and the difference between mean and each value,
Both sequence have same standard deviation.
Note:
If $1^{\text {st }}$ sequence is $x _{ i }$ and $2^{\text {nd }}$ sequence is $y _{ i }$,
$y _{ i }=10+ x _{ i } \Rightarrow \overline{ y }=10+\overline{ x }$

$5$ and $6$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $4$ and $7$
c
(c) Let the two unknown items be $x$ and $y$, then
Mean $ = 4 \Rightarrow \frac{{1 + 2 + 6 + x + y}}{5} = 4$
==> $x + y = 11$ .....$(i)$
and variance = $5. 2$
==> $\frac{{{1^2} + {2^2} + {6^2} + {x^2} + {y^2}}}{5} - {({\rm{mean}})^2} = 5.2$
$41 + {x^2} + {y^2} = 5[5.2 + {(4)^2}]$
$41 + {x^2} + {y^2} = 106$
${x^2} + {y^2} = 65$.....$(ii)$
Solving $(i)$ and $(ii)$ for $x$ and $y$, we get
$x = 4,y = 7$ or $x = 7,y = 4$.

The mean and $S.D.$ of the marks of $200$ candidates were found to be $40$ and $15$ respectively. Later, it was discovered that a score of $40$ was wrongly read as $50$. The correct mean and $S.D.$ respectively are...
- A
$14.98, 39.95$
- ✓
$39.95, 14.98$
- C
$39.95, 224.5$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: B. $39.95, 14.98$
b
(b) Corrected $\Sigma x = 40 \times 200 - 50 + 40 = 7990$
Corrected $\bar x = 7990/200$$ = 39.95$
Incorrect $\Sigma {x^2} = n\,[{\sigma ^2} + {\bar x^2}] = 200[{15^2} + {40^2}] = 365000$
Correct $\Sigma {x^2} = 365000 - 2500 + 1600$$ = 364100$
Corrected $\sigma = \sqrt {\frac{{364100}}{{200}} - {{(39.95)}^2}} $
$ = \sqrt {(1820.5 - 1596)} $$ = \sqrt {224.5} = 14.98$.

AnswerCorrect option: B. $20.25$
b
(b) Here ${n_1} = 5$, ${\bar x_1} = 8$, $\sigma _1^2 = 18$, ${n_2} = 3$ ${\bar x_2} = 8$, $\sigma _2^2 = 24$
$\bar x = $ combined mean $ = \frac{{5 \times 8 + 3 \times 8}}{{5 + 3}}$ $ = \frac{{64}}{8} = 8$
Combined variance $ = \frac{{{n_1}(\sigma _1^2 + D_1^2) + {n_2}(\sigma _2^2 + D_2^2)}}{{{n_1} + {n_2}}}$,
where ${D_1} = {\bar x_1} - \bar x$, ${D_2} = {\bar x_2} - \bar x$
Now, ${D_1} = 8 - 8;\,\,{D_2} = 8 - 8 = 0$
Combined variance $ = \frac{{5(18) + 3(24)}}{{5 + 3}}$ $ = \frac{{90 + 72}}{8}$ $ = \frac{{162}}{8}$ = $20.25$.

- ✓
$4$ and $9$
- C
$5$ and $7$
- D
$5$ and $9$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $4$ and $9$
b
(b) Let the two unknown items be $x$ and $y$.
Then, mean $ = 4.4 \Rightarrow \frac{{1 + 2 + 6 + x + y}}{5} = 4.4$
==> $x + y = 13$.....$(i)$
and variance $= 8.24$
==> $\frac{{{1^2} + {2^2} + {6^2} + {x^2} + {y^2}}}{5}$ -${({\rm{mean}})^2} = 8.24$
==> $41 + {x^2} + {y^2} = 5\,\{ {(4.4)^2} + 8.24\} $
==> ${x^2} + {y^2} = 97$.....$(ii)$
Solving $(i)$ and $(ii)$ for $x$ and $y$, we get
$x = 9,\,\,y = 4$ or $x = 4,y = 9$.

Answerc
$\frac{1}{{20}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2} = 5} $
$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2} = 100} $
new observations are $2 \mathrm{x}_{1}, 2 \mathrm{x}_{2}, \ldots \ldots, 2 \mathrm{x}_{20}$

The mean age of a combined group of men and women is $30$ years. If the means of the age of men and women are respectively $32$ and $27$, then the percentage of women in the group is
Answerb
(b) The formula for combined mean is $\bar x = \frac{{{n_1}{{\bar x}_1} + {n_2}{{\bar x}_2}}}{{{n_1} + {n_2}}}$
Given, $\bar x = 30$, ${\bar x_1} = 32$, $\overline {{x_2}} = 27$
Let ${n_1} + {n_2} = 100$ and ${n_1}$ denotes men, ${n_2}$ denotes women for this ${n_2} = 100 - {n_1}$
$30 = \frac{{32{n_1} + (100 - {n_1})27}}{{100}}$
==> $30 = \frac{{32{n_1} + 2700 - 27{n_1}}}{{100}}$
==> $3000 - 2700 = 32{n_1} - 27{n_1}$
==>$300 = 5{n_1}$ ==>${n_1} = 60$
So, ${n_2} = 40$
Hence, the percentage of women in the group is $40$.

Answerc
(c) The formula for combined mean is $\bar x = \frac{{{n_1}{{\bar x}_1} + {n_2}{{\bar x}_2}}}{{{n_1} + {n_2}}}$
Given, $\bar x = 500$,${\bar x_1} = 510$,${\bar x_2} = 460$
Let ${n_1} + {n_2} = 100$ and ${n_1}$ denotes male, ${n_2}$ denotes female for this ${n_2} = 100 - {n_1}$
$500 = \frac{{510{n_1} + (100 - {n_1})460}}{{100}}$
==> $50000{\rm{ }} = 510{n_1} + 46000 - 460{n_1}$
==> $50000{\rm{ }} - 46000 = 50{n_1}$
==> $4000 = 50{n_1}$
==> ${n_1} = \frac{{4000}}{{50}} = 80$.
Hence, the percentage of male employees in the factory is $80$.

Let $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_{11}$ be 11 distinct positive integers. If we replace the largest of these integers by the median of the other $10$ integers, then
- A
the median remains the same
- B
- ✓
- D
the mean remains the same
Answerc
(c)
Let the given $11$ distinct positive integers are in increasing order
$x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5, x_6, x_7, x_8, x_9, x_{10}, x_{11}$, so $x_{11}$ is largest of these integers and the median is $x_6$.
Now, median of first $10$ numbers is
$\frac{x_6+x_6}{2}=m$ (Let)
Now, we have to replace largest number $x_{11}$ by $m$ and then increasing order will be
$x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5, m, x_6, x_7, x_8, x_9, x_{10}$
$m < x_6$ as $x_5 < \frac{x_5+x_6}{2} < x_6$
So, median decreases.

- A
$P^{\prime}>P$ and $Q^{\prime}>Q$
- B
$P^{\prime}>P$ and $Q^{\prime} < Q$
- ✓
$P^{\prime}=P$ and $Q^{\prime}=Q$
- D
$P^{\prime} < P$ and $Q^{\prime} < Q$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $P^{\prime}=P$ and $Q^{\prime}=Q$
c
$(c)$ Let the number of people in two villages are $x$ and $y$ respectively.
Given, average income of $x$ people $=P$ and average income of $y$ people $=Q$
$\therefore$ Total income of people in two villages are $P_x$ and $Q_y$ respectively.
One person moves from first village to second village.
Then, number of people in first village
$=x-1$ and second village $=y+1$.
Average income $=P^{\prime}$ and $Q^{\prime}$
$\therefore$ Total income $=P^{\prime}(x-1)$ and $Q^{\prime}(y+1)$
Total income in both cases are same
$\therefore P x+Q y=P^{\prime}(x-1)+Q^{\prime}(y+1)$
$\Rightarrow P x-P^{\prime}(x-1)=Q^{\prime}(y+1)-Q y$
$\Rightarrow x\left(P-P^{\prime}\right)+P^{\prime}=y\left(Q^{\prime}-Q\right)+Q^{\prime}$
$\therefore P^{\prime} \neq P$ and $Q^{\prime} \neq Q$
Hence, option $(c)$ is correct.

In a city, the total income of all people with salary below $₹ 10000$ per annum is less than the total income of all people with salary above $₹ 10000$ per annum. If the salaries of people in the first group increases by $5 \%$ and the salaries of people in the second group decreases by $5 \%$, then the average income of all people
- A
- ✓
- C
- D
cannot be determined from the data
Answerb
(b)
Let total number of people whose salary less than $10000\,Rupees$ per annum $=x$ and annual salary of each person $=a$
$\therefore$ Total salary $=a x$
and total number of people whose salary more than $10000\,Rupees$ per annum $=y$ and annual salary of each person $=b$
$\therefore$ Total salary $=b x$
When $5 \%$ increase of salary of people $x$ i.e. $\quad x(a+5 \%$ of $a)=\frac{105 a x}{100}$
and $5 \%$ decrease of salary of people $y$ i.e. $y(b-5 \%$ of $b)=\frac{95 b y}{100}$
$\frac{\text { Average salary after }}{\text { Average salary before }} =\frac{105 a x+95 b y}{a x+b y}$
$=1+\frac{5}{100}\left(\frac{a x-b y}{a x+b y}\right)$
$a x-b y < 0$
$\therefore$ Average salary af ter be decreases.

The mean and standard deviation of $20$ observations are found to be $10$ and $2$, respectively. On respectively, it was found that an observation by mistake was taken $8$ instead of $12$ . The correct standard deviation is
- A
$\sqrt{3.86}$
- B
$ 1.8$
- ✓
$\sqrt{3.96}$
- D
$1.94$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $\sqrt{3.96}$
c
Mean $(\bar{x})=10$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{20}=10 $
$ \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}=10 \times 20=200$
If $8$ is replaced by $12$ , then $\Sigma x_1=200-8+12=204$
$\therefore$ Correct mean $(\overline{\mathrm{x}})=\frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{20}$
$=\frac{204}{20}=10.2$
$ \because$ Standard deviation $=2$
$ \therefore$ Variance $=( S.D.)^2=2^2=4 $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2}{20}-\left(\frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{20}\right)^2=4 $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2}{20}-(10)^2=4 $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2}{20}=104 $
$ \Rightarrow \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2=2080$
Now, replaced $'8'$ observations by $'12'$
$\text { Then, } \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2=2080-8^2+12^2=2160$
$\therefore$ Variance of removing observations
$ \Rightarrow \frac{\Sigma x_i^2}{20}-\left(\frac{\Sigma x_i}{20}\right)^2 $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{2160}{20}-(10.2)^2 $
$ \Rightarrow 108-104.04 $
$ \Rightarrow 3.96$

Let the incorrect mean be $\mu^{\prime}$ and standard deviation be $\sigma^{\prime}$
We have
$\mu^{\prime}=\frac{\Sigma x_i}{15}=12 \Rightarrow \Sigma x_i=180$
As per given information correct $\Sigma x_i=180-10+12$
$\Rightarrow \mu(\text { correct mean })=\frac{182}{15}$
Also
$ \sigma^{\prime}=\sqrt{\frac{\sum \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2}{15}-144}=3 \Rightarrow \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2=2295 $
$\text { Correct } \Sigma \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}^2=2295-100+144=2339 $
$ \sigma^2(\text { correct variance })=\frac{2339}{15}-\frac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}$
Required value
$ =15\left(\mu+\mu^2+\sigma^2\right) $
$ =15\left(\frac{182}{15}+\frac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}+\frac{2339}{15}-\frac{182 \times 182}{15 \times 15}\right) $

$\bar{X}=\frac{24}{5} ; \sigma^2=\frac{194}{25}$
Let first four observation be $\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{x}_2, \mathrm{x}_3, \mathrm{x}_4$
Here, $\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5}{5}=\frac{24}{5}$.
Also, $\frac{\mathrm{x}_1+\mathrm{x}_2+\mathrm{x}_3+\mathrm{x}_4}{4}=\frac{7}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}_1+\mathrm{x}_2+\mathrm{x}_3+\mathrm{x}_4=14$
Now from eqn $-1$
$\mathrm{x}_5$=$10$
Now, $\sigma^2=\frac{194}{25}$
$ \frac{\mathrm{x}_1^2+\mathrm{x}_2^2+\mathrm{x}_3^2+\mathrm{x}_4^2+\mathrm{x}_5^2}{5}-\frac{576}{25}=\frac{194}{25} $

Now, variance of first $4$ observations
Var $=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^4 x_i^2}{4}-\left(\frac{\sum_{i=1}^4 x_i}{4}\right)^2$

$\frac{a+b+68+44+48+60}{6}=55$
$\Rightarrow 220+a+b=330$
$\therefore a+b=110 \ldots . .(1)$
Also,
$\sum \frac{\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\overline{\mathrm{x}}\right)^2}{\mathrm{n}}=194 $
$\Rightarrow(\mathrm{a}-55)^2+(\mathrm{b}-55)^2+(68-55)^2+(44-55)^2$
$+(48-55)^2+(60-55)^2=194 \times 6$
$\Rightarrow(\mathrm{a}-55)^2+(\mathrm{b}-55)^2+169+121+49+25=1164$
$\Rightarrow(\mathrm{a}-55)^2+(\mathrm{b}-55)^2=1164-364=800$
$\mathrm{a}^2+3025-110 \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}^2+3025-110 \mathrm{~b}=800$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2=800-6050+12100$
${a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2=6850 \ldots \ldots .(2)$

Answera
$ \mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{x}_2 \ldots \ldots . \mathrm{x}_{10} $
$ \sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{10}\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\alpha\right)=2 \Rightarrow \sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{10} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-10 \alpha=2 $
$ \text { Mean } \mu=\frac{6}{5}=\frac{\sum \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{10} $
$ \therefore \quad \sum_{\mathrm{i}}=12 $
$ \quad 10 \alpha+2=12 \quad \therefore \alpha=1 $
$ \text { Now } \sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{10}\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\beta\right)^2=40 \text { Let } \mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{i}}=\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\beta $
$ \therefore \sigma_{\mathrm{y}}^2=\frac{1}{10} \sum \mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{i}}^2-(\overline{\mathrm{y}})^2 $
$ \sigma_{\mathrm{x}}^2=\frac{1}{10} \sum\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\beta\right)^2-\left(\frac{\sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{10}\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\beta\right)}{10}\right)^2 $
$ \frac{84}{25}=4-\left(\frac{12-10 \beta}{10}\right)^2 $
$ \therefore\left(\frac{6-5 \beta}{5}\right)^2=4-\frac{84}{25}=\frac{16}{25} $
$ 6-5 \beta= \pm 4 \Rightarrow \beta=\frac{2}{5} \text { (not possible) or } \beta=2$

Let $X=\{11,12,13, \ldots ., 40,41\}$ and $Y=\{61,62$, $63, \ldots ., 90,91\}$ be the two sets of observations. If $\bar{x}$ and $\bar{y}$ are their respective means and $\sigma^2$ is the variance of all the observations in $X \cup Y$, then $\left|\overline{ x }+\overline{ y }-\sigma^2\right|$ is equal to $.................$.
Answera
$\overline{ x }=\frac{\sum \limits_{ i =11}^{41} i }{31}=\frac{11+41}{2}=26 \quad(31 \text { elements) }$
$\overline{ y }=\frac{\sum \limits_{ j =61}^{91} j }{31}=\frac{61+91}{2}=76 \quad \text { (31 elements) }$
$\text { Combined mean, }$
$\mu =\frac{31 \times 26+31 \times 76}{31+31}$
$=\frac{26+76}{2}=51$
$\sigma^2=\frac{1}{62} \times\left(\sum_{i=1}^{31}\left(x_i-\mu\right)^2+\sum_{i=1}^{31}\left(y_i-\mu\right)^2\right)=705$
Since, $x _{ i } \in X$ are in $A.P.$ with $31$ elements and common difference $1$,same is $y _{ i } \in y$, when written
in increasing order.
$\therefore \sum \limits_{i=1}^{31}\left(x_i-\mu\right)^2=\sum \limits_{i=1}^{31}\left(y_i-\mu\right)^2$
$=10^2+11^2+\ldots . .+40^2$
$=\frac{40 \times 41 \times 81}{6}-\frac{9 \times 10 \times 19}{6}=21855$
$\therefore \left|\bar{x}+\bar{y}-\sigma^2\right|=|26+76-705|=603$

$N=\sum f_i=40+\alpha+\beta$
$\sum f_i x_i=360+6 \alpha+12 \beta$
$\sum f _{ i } x _{ i }^2=3904+36 \alpha+144 \beta$

$x_{1}^{\prime}-x_{1}=50 and x_{1}+x_{1}^{\prime}=70$
$x_{1}^{\prime}=60$
$x_{1}=10$
$\Rightarrow 4=\frac{x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+\ldots .+x_{50}^{2}}{50}-15^{2}$ $\ldots(iii)$
$\Rightarrow \sigma^{2}=\frac{x_{1}^{\prime 2}+x_{2}^{2}+\ldots . x_{50}^{2}}{50}-16^{2}$ $\ldots(iv)$
from $(iii)$
$\Rightarrow 4=\frac{(10)^{2}}{50}+\frac{x_{2}^{2}+x_{3}^{2}+\ldots .+x_{50}^{2}}{50}-225$

The mean and standard deviation of $15$ observations are found to be $8$ and $3$ respectively. On rechecking it was found that, in the observations, $20$ was misread as $5$ . Then, the correct variance is equal to......
Answerd
We have
$\text { Variance }=\frac{\sum\limits_{ r =1}^{15} x _{ r }^{2}}{15}-\left(\frac{\sum\limits_{ r =1}^{15} x _{ r }}{15}\right)^{2}$
Now, as per information given in equation
$\frac{\sum x _{ r }^{2}}{15}-8^{2}=3^{2} \Rightarrow \sum x _{ T }^{2}=\log 5$
Now, the new $\sum x _{ r }^{2}=\log 5-5^{2}+20^{2}=1470$
And, new $\sum x _{ r }=(15 \times 8)-5+(20)=135$
Variance $=\frac{1470}{15}-\left(\frac{135}{15}\right)^{2}=98-81=17$

The number of values of $a \in N$ such that the variance of $3,7,12 a, 43-a$ is a natural number is (Mean $=13$)
Answera
Mean $=13$
Variance $=\frac{9+49+144+ a ^{2}+(43- a )^{2}}{5}-13^{2} \in N$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2 a^{2}-a+1}{5} \in N$
$\Rightarrow 2 a^{2}-a+1-5 n=0$ must have solution as natural numbers
its $D=40 n-7$ always has $3$ at unit place
$\Rightarrow D$ can't be perfect square
So, a can't be integer.

Answerc
$\text { Mean }=\frac{6+10+7+13+a+12+b+12}{8}=9$
$60+a+b=72$
$a+b=12$
$\text { veriance }=\frac{\sum x_{i}^{2}}{n}-\left(\frac{\sum x_{i}}{n}\right)=\frac{37}{4}$
$\sum x_{i}^{2}=6^{2}+10^{2}+7^{2}+13^{2}+a^{2}+b^{2}+12^{2}+12^{2}$
$=a^{2}+b^{2}+642$
$\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}+642}{8}-(9)^{2}=\frac{37}{4}$
$\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}}{8}+\frac{321}{4}-81=\frac{37}{4}$
$\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}}{8}=81+\frac{37}{4}-\frac{321}{4}$

Then the value of $a^{2}+b^{2}$ is equal to ....... .
Answera
Let observations are denoted by $x _{i}$ for $1 \leq i< 2 n$
$\bar{x}=\frac{\sum x_{i}}{2 n}=\frac{(a+a+\ldots+a)-(a+a+\ldots+a)}{2 n}$

Let $X _{1}, X _{2}, \ldots, X _{18}$ be eighteen observations such that $\sum_{ i =1}^{18}\left( X _{ i }-\alpha\right)=36 \quad$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{18}\left(X_{i}-\beta\right)^{2}=90,$ where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are distinct real numbers. If the standard deviation of these observations is $1,$ then the value of $|\alpha-\beta|$ is ...... .
Answera
$\sum_{i=1}^{18}\left(x_{i}-\alpha\right)=36, \sum_{i=1}^{18}\left(x_{i}-\beta\right)^{2}=90$
$\Rightarrow \sum_{i=1}^{18} x_{i}=18(\alpha+2), \sum_{i=1}^{18} x_{i}^{2}-2 \beta \sum_{i=1}^{18} x_{i}+18 \beta^{2}=90$
Hence $\sum x _{ i }^{2}=90-18 \beta^{2}+36 \beta(\alpha+2)$
Given $\frac{\sum x _{ i }^{2}}{18}-\left(\frac{\sum x _{ i }}{18}\right)^{2}=1$
$\Rightarrow 90-18 \beta^{2}+36 \beta(\alpha+2)-18(\alpha+2)^{2}=18$
$\Rightarrow 5-\beta^{2}+2 \alpha \beta+4 \beta-\alpha^{2}-4 \alpha-4=1$
$\Rightarrow(\alpha-\beta)^{2}+4(\alpha-\beta)=0 \Rightarrow|\alpha-\beta|=0$ or $4$
As $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are distinct $|\alpha-\beta|=4$

Answerc
$n_{1}=100 \quad n=250$
$\therefore n_{2}=250-100 \Rightarrow n_{2}=150$
$\bar{x}=\frac{n_{1} \bar{x}_{1}+n_{2} \bar{x}_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}$
$15.6=\frac{100(15)+(150)\left(\bar{x}_{2}\right)}{250}$

$6 : 7$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $4 : 9$
b
$\mu = \frac{{1 + 3 + 8 + x + y}}{5}$
$25 = 12 + x + y \Rightarrow x + y = 13\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,........\left( 1 \right)$
${\sigma ^2} = \frac{{\sum {{{\left( {{x_i} - \mu } \right)}^2}} }}{N}$
$9.2 = \frac{{1 + 9 + 64 + {x^2} + {y^2}}}{5} - 25$
$34.2 \times 5 = 74 + {x^2} + {y^2}$
$171 = 74 + {x^2} + {y^2}$
$97 = {x^2} + {y^2}..........\left( 2 \right)$
${\left( {x + y} \right)^2} = {x^2} + {y^2} + 2xy$
$169 - 97 = 2xy \Rightarrow xy = 36$
$T = 4,9$
So, ratio is $\frac{4}{9}$ or $\frac{9}{4}$

The mean and variance of seven observations are $8$ and $16$, respectively. If $5$ of the observations are $2, 4, 10, 12, 14,$ then the product of the remaining two observations is
Answerd
Let $7$ observation be ${x_1},{x_2},{x_3},{x_4},{x_5},{x_6},{x_7}$
$\bar x = 8 \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {{x_i}} = 56\,\,\,\,\,\,.......\left( 1 \right)$
Also ${\sigma ^2} = 16$
$ \Rightarrow 16 = \frac{1}{7}\left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {x_i^2} } \right) - {\left( {\bar x} \right)^2}$
$ \Rightarrow 16 = \frac{1}{7}\left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {x_i^2} } \right) - 64$
$ \Rightarrow \left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^7 {x_i^2} } \right) = 560\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.......\left( 2 \right)$
Now, ${x_1} = 2,{x_2} = 4,{x_3} = 10,{x_4} = 12,{x_5} = 14$
$ \Rightarrow {x_6} + {x_7} = 14$ (from $(1)$) and $x_6^2 + x_7^2 = 100$ (from$(2)$)
$\therefore x_6^2 + x_7^2 = {\left( {{x_6} + {x_7}} \right)^2} - 2{x_6}{x_7} \Rightarrow {x_6}{x_7} = 48$

- B
$\sqrt 6$
- ✓
$2\sqrt 6$

$2\sqrt {\frac {10}{3}}$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $2\sqrt 6$
c
$S.D. = \sqrt {\frac{{\sum {{{\left( {x - \bar x} \right)}^2}} }}{n}} $
$\bar x = \frac{{\sum x }}{4} = \frac{{ - 1 + 0 + 1 + k}}{4} = \frac{k}{4}$
Now $\sqrt 5 = \sqrt {\frac{{{{\left( { - 1 - \frac{k}{4}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {0 - \frac{k}{4}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {1 - \frac{k}{4}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {k - \frac{k}{4}} \right)}^2}}}{4}} $
$ \Rightarrow 5 \times 4 = 2{\left( {1 + \frac{k}{{16}}} \right)^2} + \frac{{5{k^2}}}{8}$
$ \Rightarrow 18 = \frac{{3{k^2}}}{4}$
$ \Rightarrow {k^2} = 24$

Answerc
Let $5$ students are ${x_1},{x_2},{x_3},{x_4},{x_5}$
Given $\bar x = \frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{5} = 150\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^5 { = 750\,\,\,\,\,\,.....\left( 1 \right)} $
$\frac{{\sum {x_i^2} }}{5} - {\left( {\bar x} \right)^2} = 18 \Rightarrow \frac{{\sum {x_i^2} }}{5} - {\left( {150} \right)^2} = 180$
$ \Rightarrow \sum {x_i^2} = \left( {22500 + 18} \right) \times 5\,\,\, \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^5 {\,x_i^2 = 112590\,\,\,\,\,.....\left( 2 \right)} $
Heght of new standent $ = 156\left( {Let\,{x_6}} \right)$
Then ${x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3} + {x_4} + {x_5} + {x_6} = 750 + 156$
${{\bar x}_{new}} = \frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3} + {x_4} + {x_5} + {x_6}}}{6} = \frac{{906}}{6} = 151\,\,\,\,\,\,....\left( 3 \right)$
Variance (new) $ = \frac{{\sum {x_i^2} }}{6} - {\left( {{{\bar x}_{new}}} \right)^2}$
from equation $(2)$ and $(3)$
variance (new) $ = \frac{{112590 + {{\left( {156} \right)}^2}}}{6} - {\left( {151} \right)^2} = 2281 - 22801 = 20$

The mean of a set of $30$ observations is $75$. If each other observation is multiplied by a nonzero number $\lambda $ and then each of them is decreased by $25$, their mean remains the same. The $\lambda $ is equal to
- A
$\frac{{10}}{3}$
- ✓
$\frac{{4}}{3}$
- C
$\frac{{1}}{3}$
- D
$\frac{{2}}{3}$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\frac{{4}}{3}$
b
As mean is a linear operation, so if each observation is multipied by $\lambda $ and decreased by $25$ then the mean becomes $75$ $\lambda - 25$.
According to the question,
$75\lambda - 25 = 75 \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{4}{3}$.

Answerb
Given $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {\left( {{x_i} - 5} \right)} = 9 \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {{x_i} = 54\,\,\,.....\left( i \right)} $
Also, $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {{{\left( {{x_i} - 5} \right)}^2}} = 45$
$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {x_i^2} - 10\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {{x_i} + 9\left( {25} \right)} = 45\,\,\,\,\,...\left( {ii} \right)$
From $(i)$ and $(ii)$ we get,
$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^9 {x_i^2} = 360$
Since, variance $ = \frac{{\sum {x_i^2} }}{9} - {\left( {\frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{9}} \right)^2}$
$ = \frac{{360}}{9} - {\left( {\frac{{54}}{9}} \right)^2} = 40 - 36 = 4$

The mean and the standard deviation $(s.d.)$ of five observations are $9$ and $0,$ respectively. If one of the observations is changed such that the mean of the new set of five observations becomes $10,$ then their $s.d.$ is?
Answerc
Here mean $ = \bar x = 9$
$ \Rightarrow \bar x = \frac{{\sum {{x_i}} }}{n} = 9$
$ \Rightarrow \sum {{x_i}} = 9 \times 5 = 45$
Now, standard deviation $=0$
$\therefore $ all the five terms are same i.e.;$9$.
Now for changed observation
${{\bar x}_{new}} = \frac{{36 + {x_5}}}{5} = 10$
$ \Rightarrow {x_5} = 14$
$\therefore {\sigma _{new}} = \sqrt {\frac{{\sum {{{\left( {{x_i} - {{\bar x}_{new}}} \right)}^2}} }}{n}} $
$ = \sqrt {\frac{{4{{\left( {9 - 10} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {14 - 10} \right)}^2}}}{5}} $

AnswerCorrect option: A. increases by $1$
a
There are $2n$ abservations ${{x_1},{x_2},......,{x_{2n}}}$
So, maen $ = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{2n} {\frac{{{x_i}}}{{2n}}} $
Let these observations be divided into two parts ${{x_1},{x_2},......,{x_n}}$ and ${x_{n + 1}},......{x_{2n}}$
Each in ${1^{st}}$ part $5$ is added, so total of
first part is $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{x_i} + 5n} $.
In second part $3$ is subtracted from each
So, total os second part is $\sum\limits_{i = n + 1}^{2n} {{x_i} - 3n} $

Let $ \bar x , M$ and $\sigma^2$ be respectively the mean, mode and variance of $n$ observations $x_1 , x_2,...,x_n$ and $d_i\, = - x_i - a, i\, = 1, 2, .... , n$, where $a$ is any number.
Statement $I$: Variance of $d_1, d_2,.....d_n$ is $\sigma^2$.
Statement $II$ : Mean and mode of $d_1 , d_2, .... d_n$ are $-\bar x -a$ and $- M - a$, respectively
- A
Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are both false
- ✓
Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are both true
- C
Statement $I$ is true and Statement $II$ is false
- D
Statement $I$ is false and Statement $II$ is true
AnswerCorrect option: B. Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are both true
b
$\left( b \right)\,\,\bar x = \frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3} + ... + {x_n}}}{n}$
${\sigma ^2} = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} $
Mean of ${d_1},{d_2},{d_3},......,{d_n}$
$ = \frac{{{d_1} + {d_2} + {d_3} + ...... + {d_n}}}{n}$
$ = \frac{{\left( { - {x_1} - a} \right) + \left( { - {x_2} - a} \right) + \left( { - {x_3} - a} \right) + ..... + \left( { - {x_n} - a} \right)}}{n}$
$ = - \left[ {\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + {x_3} + ... + {x_n}}}{n}} \right] - \frac{{na}}{n}$
$ = - \bar x - a$
Since, ${d_i} = - {x_i} - a$ and we multiply or subtract each observation by any number the mode remains the same. Hence mode of $ - {x_i} - a$ i.e. ${d_i}$ and ${x_i}$ are same.
Now variance of ${d_1},{d_2},......,{d_n}$
$ = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left[ {{d_i} - \left( { - \bar x - a} \right)} \right]}^2}} $
$ = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left[ { - {x_i} - a + \bar x - a} \right]}^2}} $
$ = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( { - {x_i} + \bar x} \right)}^2}} $
$ = \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{{\left( {\bar x - {x_i}} \right)}^2}} = {\sigma ^2}$

Answerd
Let ${5^{th}}$ observation be $x$.
Given mean $=7$
$\therefore 7 = \frac{{6 + 7 + 8 + 10 + x}}{5}$
$ \Rightarrow x = 4$ Now, Variance

$ = \sqrt {\frac{{{1^2} + {0^2} + {1^2} + {3^2} + {3^2}}}{5}} = \sqrt {\frac{{20}}{5}} = \sqrt 4 = 2$

If the median and the range of four numbers $\{x, y, 2x + y, x-y \}$ , where $0 < y < x < 2y$ , are $10$ and $28$ respectively, then the mean of the numbers is
Answerd
Since $0 < y < x < 2y$
$\therefore y > \frac{x}{2} \Rightarrow x - y < \frac{x}{2}$
$\therefore x - y < y < x < 2x + y$
Hence median $ = \frac{{y + x}}{2} = 10$
$ \Rightarrow x + y = 20\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,....\left( i \right)$
And range $ = \left( {2x + y} \right) - \left( {x - y} \right) = x + 2y$
But range $=28$
$\therefore x + 2y = 28\,\,\,\,\,\,\,.....\left( {ii} \right)$
From equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$,
$x = 12,y = 8$
$\therefore $ Mean
$ = \frac{{\left( {x - y} \right) + y + x + \left( {2x + y} \right)}}{4} = \frac{{4x + y}}{4}$
$ = x + \frac{y}{4} = 12 + \frac{8}{4} = 14$

In a series of $2n$ observation, half of them are equal to $'a'$ and remaining half observations are equal to $' -a'$. If the standard deviation of this observations is $2$ then $\left| a \right|$ equals
- ✓
$2$
- B
$\sqrt 2 $
- C
$4$
- D
$2\sqrt 2 $
Answera
Clerly mean $A=0$
Now, standard deviation $\sigma = \sqrt {\frac{{\sum {{{\left( {x - A} \right)}^2}} }}{{2n}}} $
$2 = \sqrt {\frac{{{{\left( {a - 0} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {a - 0} \right)}^2} + ... + {{\left( {0 - a} \right)}^2} + ...}}{{2n}}} $
$ = \sqrt {\frac{{{a^2}.2n}}{{2n}}} = \left| a \right|$
Hence, $\left| a \right| = 2$

varience $=\sigma^2=\frac{1}{n} \sum \limits_{i=1}^r y_i\left(n_i-\bar{x}\right)^2$
If each obs is weltiplied $2 y$ a the $y_i=a x_i \quad i . e \quad x_i=\frac{1}{a} y_i$
$y_i=a x_i n$
$\therefore \bar{y}=\frac{1}{n} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n y_i=\frac{1}{n} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n a x_i=\frac{a}{n} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_i=a \bar{x} .$

- A
$\left( {\frac{a}{c}} \right)\,\sigma $
- ✓
$\left| {\frac{a}{c}} \right|\,\sigma $
- C
$\left( {\frac{{{a^2}}}{{{c^2}}}} \right)\,\sigma $
- D
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\left| {\frac{a}{c}} \right|\,\sigma $
b
(b) Let $y = \frac{{ax + b}}{c}$ i.e., $y = \frac{a}{c}x + \frac{b}{c}$
i.e., $y = Ax + B$, where $A = \frac{a}{c}$,$B = \frac{b}{c}$
$\bar y = A\bar x + B$
$y - \bar y = A(x - \bar x)$ ==> ${(y - \bar y)^2} = {A^2}{(x - \bar x)^2}$
==> $\sum {(y - \bar y)^2} = {A^2}\sum {(x - \bar x)^2}$
==> $n.\sigma _y^2 = {A^2}.n\sigma _x^2$ ==> $\sigma _y^2 = {A^2}\sigma _x^2$
==> ${\sigma _y} = \,|A|{\sigma _x}$ ==> ${\sigma _y} = \,\left| {\frac{a}{c}} \right|{\sigma _x}$

If the mean of $4, 7, 2, 8, 6$ and $a$ is $7$, then the mean deviation from the median of these observations is
Answerd
Given observatons are $4,7,2,8,6,a$ and mean is $7$.
We know
Mean $ = \frac{{4 + 7 + 2 + 8 + 6 + a}}{6}$
$ \Rightarrow 7 = \frac{{4 + 7 + 2 + 8 + 6 + a}}{6} \Rightarrow a = 15$
Now, given observations can be written in ascending order which is $2,4,6,7,8,15$
Since, No. of observation is even
$\therefore $ Median
$ = \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{6}{2}} \right)}^{th}}observation + {{\left( {\frac{6}{2} + 1} \right)}^{th}}observation}}{2}$
$ = \frac{{{3^{rd}}observation + {4^{th}}observation}}{2}$
$ = \frac{{6 + 7}}{2} = \frac{{13}}{2}$
Now, Mean deviation $ = \frac{{\sum\limits_{i = 1}^6 { \ge \left| {{x_i} - \frac{{13}}{2}} \right|} }}{6}$

The median of $100$ observations grouped in classes of equal width is $25.$ If the median class interval is $20 - 30$ and the number of observations less than $20$ is $4 5,$ then the frequency of median class is
Answera
Median is given as
$M = l + \frac{{\frac{N}{2} - F}}{f} \times C$ where
$l=$ lower limit of the median -class
$f=$ frequency of the median class
$N=$ total frequency
$F=$ cumulative frequency of the class just before the median class
$C=$ legth of median class
Now, given , $M=25,N=100,F=45,C=20-30=10,l=20$.
$\therefore $ By using formula, we have
$25 = 20 + \frac{{50 - 45}}{f} \times 10$
$25 - 20 = \frac{{50}}{f} \Rightarrow 5 = \frac{{50}}{f} \Rightarrow f = 10$

Given: $\sigma_{x}^{2}=4$ and $\sigma_{y}^{2}=5$
Also given that $\frac{\Sigma x_{i}}{5}=2$ and $\frac{\Sigma y_{i}}{5}=4$
$\Rightarrow \Sigma x_{i}=\bar{x}=10$ and $\Sigma y_{i}=\bar{y}=20$
$\sigma_{x}^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{5} \Sigma x_{i}^{2}\right)-(\bar{x})^{2}$
$=\left(\frac{1}{5} \Sigma x_{i}^{2}\right)-(2)^{2}$ ......$(i)$
$\sigma_{y}^{2}=\frac{1}{5}\left(\Sigma y_{i}^{2}\right)-(\bar{y})^{2}$
$=\frac{1}{5}\left(\Sigma y_{i}^{2}\right)-16$ ..........$(ii)$
Substituting $\sigma_{x}^{2}=4$ in $(i)$ we get
$4=\left(\frac{1}{5} \Sigma x_{i}^{2}\right)-4$
$\Rightarrow 4+4=\frac{1}{5} \Sigma x_{i}^{2}$
$\Rightarrow \Sigma x_{i}^{2}=40$
Similarly by substituting $\sigma_{y}^{2}=5$ in $(ii)$ we have
$5=\frac{1}{5} \Sigma y_{i}^{2}-16$
$\Rightarrow 5+16=\frac{1}{5} \Sigma y_{i}^{2}$
$\Rightarrow 21=\frac{1}{5} \Sigma y_{i}^{2}$
$\Rightarrow \Sigma y_{i}^{2}=105$
Combined varience $=\sigma_{z}^{2}=\frac{1}{10}\left(\Sigma x_{i}^{2}+\Sigma y_{i}^{2}\right)-\left(\frac{\bar{x}+\bar{y}}{2}\right)^{2}$
$=\frac{1}{10}(40+105)-\left(\frac{2+4}{2}\right)^{2}$

AnswerCorrect option: B. $10.1$
b
The given series $1,1+d, 1+2 d \ldots \ldots 1+100 d$ is $A.P.$
No. of terms in this series $=101$
Mean of this series $=\bar{x}=\frac{1+(1+d)+(1+2 d)+\ldots+(1+100 d)}{101}$
$1+(1+d)+(1+2 d)+\ldots \ldots+(1+100 d)=\frac{101}{2}(2+(101-1) d)$
$=101(50 d+1)$
$\therefore \bar{x}=\frac{101(50 d+1)}{101}=1+50 d$
Therefore mean deviation from mean
$ = \frac{1}{{101}}\sum\limits_{r = 0}^{100} {\left[ {\left( {1 + rd} \right) - \left( {1 + 50d} \right)} \right]} $

In a series of $2n$ observations, half of them equal to $a$ and remaining half equal to $-a$. If the standard deviation of the observations is $2$, then $|a|$ equals
- A
$\frac{{\sqrt 2 }}{n}$
- B
$\sqrt 2 $
- ✓
$2$
- D
$\frac{1}{n}$
Answerc
(c) Let $a, a, ........n$ times and $-a, -a, -a, -a, ........n$ times i.e., mean = $0$ and $S.D.$ $ = \sqrt {\frac{{n{{(a - 0)}^2} + n{{( - a - 0)}^2}}}{{2n}}} $
$2 = \sqrt {\frac{{n{a^2} + n{a^2}}}{{2n}}} = \sqrt {{a^2}} = \pm a$.
Hence $|a|\; = 2$.

The median of a set of $9$ distinct observations is $20.5$. If each of the largest $4$ observation of the set is increased by $2$, then the median of the new set
- A
Is increased by $2$
- B
Is decreased by $2$
- C
Is two times the original median
- ✓
Remains the same as that of the original set
AnswerCorrect option: D. Remains the same as that of the original set
d
(d) Since $n = 9$, then median term $ = {\left( {\frac{{9 + 1}}{2}} \right)^{th}}$
$ = {5^{th\ }} {\rm{ term}}$.
Now, last four observations are increased by $2$.
The median is $5^{th}$ observation, which is remaining unchanged.
There will be no change in median.

In an experiment with $15$ observations on $x$, the following results were available $\sum {x^2} = 2830$, $\sum x = 170$. On observation that was $20$ was found to be wrong and was replaced by the correct value $30$. Then the corrected variance is..
- ✓
$78$
- B
$188.66$
- C
$177.33$
- D
$8.33$
Answera
(a) $\sum x = 170$, $\sum {x^2} = 2830$
Increase in $\sum x = 10$, then $\sum x' = 170 + 10 = 180$
Increase in $\sum {x^2} = 900 - 400 = 500$, then
$\sum {x'^2} = 2830 + 500 = 3330$
Variance $ = \frac{1}{n}\sum {x'^2} - {\left( {\frac{{\sum x'}}{n}} \right)^2}$
$ = \frac{{3330}}{{15}} - {\left( {\frac{{180}}{{15}}} \right)^2} = 222 - 144 = 78$.

In a class of $100$ students there are $70$ boys whose average marks in a subject are $75$. If the average marks of the complete class are $72$, then what are the average marks of the girls
Answerb
(b) Let the average marks of the girls students be $x$, then $72 = \frac{{70 \times 75 + 30 \times x}}{{100}}$ (Number of girls = $100-70$ = $30$)
i.e., $\frac{{7200 - 5250}}{{30}} = x$;
$x = 65.$

Sum of the absolute deviations remains minimum with respect to
Answerb
Minimum deviation (MD) from mean $=\frac{\sum|X-\bar{X}|}{n}$
MD from median $=\frac{\sum \mid X-\text { median } \mid}{n}$
MD from mode $=\frac{\sum \mid X-\text { mode } \mid}{n}$
Since median $>$ mean $(\bar{X})$ and median $>$ mode.
So, It is clear that the mean deviation from median has the least value.
