MCQ 2011 Mark
The mean of the following data is
class interval $0-10$ $10-20$ $20-30$ $30-40$ $40-50$
Frequemcy $3$ $5$ $9$ $5$ $3$
  • $20$
  • B
    $24$
  • C
    $22$
  • D
    $25$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$20$
The frequency distribution table from the given data can be drawn as :
Daily allowance $($in $₹)$ Class mark $\left(x_i\right)$ Number of children $\left(f_i\right)$ $f_i x_i$
$11-13$ $12$ $7$ $84$
$13-15$ $14$ $6$ $84$
$15-17$ $16$ $9$ $144$
$17-19$ $18$ $13$ $234$
$19-21$ $20$ $f$ $20f$
$21-23$ $22$ $5$ $110$
$23-25$ $24$ $4$ $96$
    $\sum f_i=f+44$ $\Sigma f_i x_i=$
$20 f+752$
Now, mean, $\bar{x}=\frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i}$
$\Rightarrow 18=\frac{20 f+752}{f+44}$
$\Rightarrow 20 f+752=18 f+792$
$\Rightarrow 20 f-18 f=792-752$
$\Rightarrow 2 f=40$
$\Rightarrow f=\frac{40}{2}=20$
Hence, the fourth frequency, $f$ is $20 .$

    $18$
  • $20$
  • C
    $22$
  • D
    $19$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$20$

$20 f+752$
Now, mean, $\bar{x}=\frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i}$
$\Rightarrow 18=\frac{20 f+752}{f+44}$
$\Rightarrow 20 f+752=18 f+792$
$\Rightarrow 20 f-18 f=792-752$
$\Rightarrow 2 f=40$
$\Rightarrow f=\frac{40}{2}=20$
Hence, the fourth frequency, $f$ is $20 .$

MCQ 2031 Mark
Four observations are 2, 4,6 and 8. The frequencies of the first three observations are 3,2 and 1 respectively. If the mean of the observations is 4 , then find the frequency of the fourth observation.
  • A
    8
  • B
    4
  • 1
  • D
    2
Answer
Correct option: C.
1
(c) : Let the frequency of the fourth observation be $f$.
$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { Mean, } \bar{x}=\frac{x_1 f_1+x_2 f_2+x_3 f_3+x_4 f_4}{f_1+f_2+f_3+f_4} \\
\Rightarrow & 4=\frac{2 \times 3+4 \times 2+6 \times 1+8 \times f}{3+2+1+f}=\frac{6+8+6+8 f}{6+f} \\
\Rightarrow & 24+4 f=20+8 f \\
\Rightarrow & 4 f=4 \Rightarrow f=1
\end{aligned}

MCQ 2041 Mark
If the mean of $x, x+3, x+6, x+9$ and $x+12$ is 10 , then $x$ equals
  • A
    1
  • B
    2
  • 4
  • D
    6
Answer
Correct option: C.
4
(c) : Mean, $\bar{x}=\frac{\text { Sum of all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}$
$
\begin{array}{ll}
\Rightarrow & 10=\frac{x+(x+3)+(x+6)+(x+9)+(x+12)}{5} \quad \text { [Given] } \\
\Rightarrow & 50=5 x+30 \\
\Rightarrow & 5 x=20 \\
\Rightarrow & x=4
\end{array}

MCQ 2051 Mark
If the mean of first $n$ natural numbers is $\frac{5 n}{9}$, then $n$ is equal to
  • A
    $5$
  • $9$
  • C
    $10$
  • D
    $11$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$9$
Mean of first $n$ natural numbers
$=\frac{1+2+3+\ldots+n}{n}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5 n}{9}=\frac{n(n+1)}{2 n}$
$[\because$ Sum of first $n$  natural numbers $=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}]$
$\Rightarrow 10 n^2=9 n^2+9 n$
$\Rightarrow n^2-9 n=0$
$\Rightarrow n(n-9)=0$
$\Rightarrow n=9$
$(\because n \neq 0)$

The mean of first ten odd natural numbers is
  • A
    5
  • 10
  • C
    20
  • D
    19
Answer
Correct option: B.
10
(b) : First ten odd natural numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, $11,13,15,17$ and 19 .
$\therefore \quad$ Required mean
$
=\frac{1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19}{10}=\frac{100}{10}=10

MCQ 2071 Mark
If $d_i=x_i-13, \Sigma f_i d_i=30$ and $\Sigma f_i=120$, then mean $(\bar{x})$ is equal to
  • A
    13
  • B
    12.75
  • 13.25
  • D
    14.25
Answer
Correct option: C.
13.25
(c) : Here, $d_i=x_i-13 \Rightarrow a=13 \quad\left[\because d_i=x_i-a\right]$ Also, $\sum f_i d_i=30$ and $\sum f_i=120$ Now, mean, $\bar{x}=a+\frac{\Sigma f_i d_i}{\Sigma f_i}=13+\frac{30}{120}=13.25$
