The algebraic sum of the deviations of a set of values x_1 , x_2,...

The algebraic sum of the deviations of a set of values x1x_1, x2,x3,…xnx_2, x_3, \ldots x_n measured from 100 is -20 and the algebriac sum of the deviations of the same set of values measured from 92 is 140. If the algebraic sum of the deviations of the same set of values measured from yy is 180 , then what is the value of yy ?

Options

  1. A80
  2. B85
  3. C90
  4. D95

Correct answer

C. 90

Step-by-step solution

Here, (x1−100)+(x2−100)+…..+\left(\mathrm{x}_1-100\right)+\left(\mathrm{x}_2-100\right)+\ldots . .+\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{n}}-100\right)=-20hence(x1+x2+x3+…..xn)−100x=−20hence \left(x_1+x_2+x_3+\ldots . . x_n\right)-100 x=-20 Or x1+x2+x3+xn=100n−20\mathrm{x}_1+\mathrm{x}_2+\mathrm{x}_3+\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{n}}=100 \mathrm{n}-20 and accoding to question for same set x1+x2+x3+………..xn=92n+140\mathrm{x}_1+\mathrm{x}_2+\mathrm{x}_3+\ldots \ldots \ldots . . \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{n}}=92 \mathrm{n}+140 Acc to question (x1+x2+x3+….xn)−20y=1801980−20y=180or 20y=1800⇒y=90\begin{aligned} & \left(\mathrm{x}_1+\mathrm{x}_2+\mathrm{x}_3+\ldots . \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{n}}\right)-20 \mathrm{y}=180 \\ & 1980-20 \mathrm{y}=180 \\ & \text{or } 20 \mathrm{y}=1800 \Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=90\end{aligned}
