Adding (ii) and (iii) and then subtract (i), we get
Ed
(x1 + x2 + x3 + x4) + (x4 + x5 + x6 + x7) - (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6 + x7) = 60 + 72 - 119

Q4: Mode and Mean of a data are 15x and 18x, respectively. Then the median of
the data is :
(a) x
ev
(b) 11x
(c) 17x
uR
(d) 34x
Ed
Hide Answer
Ans: (c)
Using empirical formula,
Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
⇒ 15x = 3 Median - 2(18x)
⇒ 3 Median = 15x + 36x
ev
⇒ 3 Median = 51x
⇒ Median= 17x

Q5: If the mode of some observation is 10 and sum of mean and median is 25, then
the mean and median respectively are
(a) 12 and 13
e
(c) 13 and 12
uR
(b) 10 and 15
(d) 15 and 10
Ed
Hide Answer
Ans: (b)
Given, Mode = 10
Mean+ Median= 25
By Empirical formula,
ev
Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
⇒ 10 = 3(25 - Mean) - 2 Mean
⇒ 5 Mean= 65 ⇒ Mean= 13
∴ Median= 25 - 13 = 12

(ii) (a) Here, N/2 = 24/2 = 12
The cumulative frequency just greater than 12 is 14 and corresponding class is

Hide Answer
Ans:
uR
Ed
Median= 46, N = 230, h = 10
∴ Median class= 40 - 50 ⇒ I = 40
ev
uR
Ed
ev
∴ 150 + x + y = 230 ⇒ x + y = 80 ..(i)
∴ f = 65 and c = 42 + x

Using equation (i),
∴ we get y = 80 - 34 = 46
