Let $l$ be the lower class limit of a class-interval in a frequency distribution and m be the mid point of the class. Then, the upper class limit of the class is:
  • A
    $\text{m}+\frac{\text{l+m}}{2}$
  • B
    $\text{l}+\frac{\text{m+l}}{2}$
  • $2\text{m}-1$
  • D
    $\text{m}-2\text{l}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$2\text{m}-1$

Given that, the lower class limit of a class-interval is l and the mid-point of the class is $m.$ Let $u$ be the upper class limit of the class-interval.
Therefore, we have
$\text{m}=\frac{\text{l+u}}{2}$
$⇒ l + u = 2m$
$⇒ u = 2m - l$
Thus the upper class limit of the class is $(2m - l).$
Hence, the correct choice is $(c).$

    $8$
  • B
    $12$
  • C
    $6$
  • $7$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$7$

Mid-value $= 10$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{Upper limit + Lower limit }}{2}=10$
$⇒$ Upper limit $+$ Lower limit $= 20 .....(i)$
Also, Class length $= 6$
$⇒$ Upper limit $-$ lower limit $= 6 .....(ii)$
Subtracting $(ii)$ from $(i),$ we get
$2 ×$ Lower limit $= 14$

If the instrument has recorded the speed $\frac{5\text{km}}{\text{h}}$ less in each case, then the correct average speed of the motorists is:
  • A
    $\frac{50.2\text{km}}{\text{h}}$
  • B
    $\frac{54.5\text{km}}{\text{h}}$
  • $\frac{55.2\text{km}}{\text{h}}$
  • D
    $\frac{52.5\text{km}}{\text{h}}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{55.2\text{km}}{\text{h}}$

Sum of all the recorded speeds is
$48 + 52 + 57 + 55 + 42 + 39 + 60 + 49 + 53 + 47 = 502$
Because of the error, $\frac{5\text{km}}{\text{h}}$ in each case
The sum increases by $50$ i.e., $552$
So the average speed of $10$ vehicle is $\frac{55.2\text{km}}{\text{h}}$

  • $4M^3 - 3M$
  • C
    $3M^3 - 4M$
  • D
    $4M^3 + 3M$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$4M^3 - 3M$

Given $\bigg(\frac{\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}}{2}\bigg)^2=(\text{M})^2$
Taking cube on both sides
$\bigg(\frac{\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}}{2}\bigg)^3=(\text{M})^3$
$\bigg(\text{x}+{\frac{1}{\text{x}}}\bigg)^3=(2\text{M})^3$
$\bigg(\text{x}^2+3\text{x}\times{\frac{1}{\text{x}}}\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)+\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}\bigg)=(2\text{M})^3$
$\bigg(\text{x}^3+{\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}}\bigg)={8\text{M}^3-3}\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)$
Divide by $2$ on both sides to get mean
$\frac{\bigg(\text{x}^3+{\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}}\bigg)}{2}={4\text{M}^3-\frac{3}{2}}\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)$
$\frac{\bigg(\text{x}^3+{\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}}\bigg)}{2}={4\text{M}^3}-{3\text{M}}$

There are $50$ numbers. Each number is subtracted from $53$ and the difference between the mean of the numbers so obtained is found to be $-3.5.$ The mean of the given number is:
  • A
    $49.5$
  • B
    $53.5$
  • $56.5$
  • D
    $46.5$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$56.5$

Let the mean of the initial sequence is $x.$
Given that, after subtracting $53$ from each number, the difference between the means is $3.5$
So, $x - 53 = 3.5$
Mean of the number is $x = 53 + 3.5 = 56.5$
