Directions : In the following questions, a statement of assertion $(A)$ is followed by a statement of reason $(R).$ Mark the correct choice as :
Assertion : Consider the following frequency distribution :
Class interval $3-6$ $6-9$ $9-12$ $12-15$ $15-18$ $18-21$
Frequency $2$ $5$ $21$ $23$ $10$ $12$
he mode of the above data is $12.4.$
Reason : The value of the variable which occurs most often is the mode.
  • A
    Both assertion $(A)$ and reason $(R)$ are true and reason $(R)$ is the correct explanation of assertion $(A)$.
  • Both assertion $(A)$ and reason $(R)$ are true but reason $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of assertion $(A)$.
  • C
    Assertion $(A)$ is true but reason $(R)$ is false.
  • D
    Assertion $(A)$ is false but reason $(R)$ is true.
Answer
Correct option: B.
Both assertion $(A)$ and reason $(R)$ are true but reason $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of assertion $(A)$.
The maximum frequency is $23$ and the modal class is $12 - 15.$
So $,\text{l} = 12,\text{ f}_\text{i} = 23,\text{ f}_0 = 21, \text{ f}_2 = 10 $ and $\text{h}=3$
$\therefore\text{ Mode}=12+\bigg(\frac{23-21}{2\times23-21-10}\bigg)\times3$
$=\bigg(12+3\times\frac{2}{15}\bigg)$
$=12.4$

Answer
Correct option: C.
Assertion $(A)$ is true but reason $(R)$ is false.
We know that, the class whose cumulative frequency is just greater than$\frac{\text{n}}{2}$ is the median class.
So, Reason is wrong.
The cumulative frequency distribution table from the given data can be drawn as :
Class Interval Frequency Cumulative Frequency
$0-4$ $6$ $6$
$4-8$ $3$ $9$
$8-12$ $5$ $14$
$12-16$ $20$ $34$
$16-20$ $10$ $44$
Here $\text{n}=44$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{n}}{2}=22,$ which lies in the interval $12 - 16.$
So, it is the median class.

Directions : In the following questions, a statement of assertion $(A)$ is followed by a statement of reason $(R)$.Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion : If the arithmetic mean of $5,7,\text{x},10,15$ is $\text{x}$ then $\text{x}=9.25$
Reason : If $\text{x}_1,\text{x}_2,\text{x}_3...\text{x}_\text{n}$ are nn values of a variable $\text{X},$ then the arithmetic mean of these values is given by
$\frac{\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2+\text{x}_3+...+\text{x}_\text{n}}{2\text{n}}$
  • A
    Both assertion $(A)$ and reason $(R)$ are true and reason $(R)$ is the correct explanation of assertion $(A)$.
  • B
    Both assertion $(A)$ and reason $(R)$ are true but reason $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of assertion $(A)$.
  • Assertion $(A)$ is true but reason $(R)$ is false.
  • D
    Assertion $(A)$ is false but reason $(R)$ is true.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Assertion $(A)$ is true but reason $(R)$ is false.
If $\text{x}_1,\text{x}_2,\text{x}_3...\text{x}_\text{n}$ are $\text{n}$ values of a variable $\text{X},$
then the arithmetic mean of these values is given by
$\frac{\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2+\text{x}_3+...+\text{x}_\text{n}}{2\text{n}}$
$\therefore$ Reason is wrong.
Now, mean of given values $=\text{x}\ [$Given$]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{5+7+\text{x}+10+15}{5}=\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{37+\text{x}}{5}=\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow37+\text{x}=5\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow37=4\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=9.25,$ which is correct

$0-10$ $5$ $5$ $25$
$10-20$ $18$ $15$ $270$
$20-30$ $15$ $25$ $375$
$30-40$ $16$ $35$ $560$
$40-50$ $6$ $45$ $270$
  $\sum\text{f}_\text{i}=60$   $\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{x}_\text{i}=1500$
$\therefore\text{Mean }=\frac{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{x}_\text{i}}{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}}$
$\Rightarrow$ Mean $=\frac{1500}{60}$
$\Rightarrow$ Mean $= 25$, which is true.

  • A
    Both assertion $(A)$ and reason $(R)$ are true and reason $(R)$ is the correct explanation of assertion $(A)$.
  • Both assertion $(A)$ and reason $(R)$ are true and reason $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of assertion $(A).$
  • C
    Assertion $(A)$ is true but reason $(R)$ is false.
  • D
    Assertion $(A)$ is false but reason $(R)$ is true.
Answer
Correct option: B.
Both assertion $(A)$ and reason $(R)$ are true and reason $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of assertion $(A).$
Clearly, Reason is true.
The maximum frequency is $23$ and the modal class is $12-15.$
$\therefore l=12, f_1=23, f_0=21, f_2=10$ and $h=3$
$\therefore \text { Mode }=12+\left(\frac{23-21}{2 \times 23-21-10}\right) \times 3$
$=\left(12+3 \times \frac{2}{15}\right)$
$=12.4$
$\therefore$ Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
Class Class marks $\left(x_i\right)$ Frequency $\left(f_i\right)$ $f_i x_i$
$1-3$ $2$ $12$ $24$
$3-5$ $4$ $22$ $88$
$5-7$ $6$ $27$ $165$
$7-9$ $8$ $19$ $152$
    $\Sigma f_i=80$ $\Sigma f_i x_i=426$
$\therefore$ Mean $=\frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i}=\frac{426}{80}=5.325$
