1.

If the mean of 6, 7, x, 8, y, 14 is 9, then A. x + y = 21 B. x + y = 19 C. x − y = 19 D. x − y =21

Answer»

Terms are 6, 7, x, 8, y, 14

No of terms = 6

We know that

Mean \(=\frac{Sum\,of\,all\,observations}{No.\,of\,observations}\)

\(\Rightarrow9=\frac{6+7+\text{x}+8+y+14}{6}\)

⇒ 54 = x + y + 35 

⇒ x + y = 19 

Hence, 

correct option is (B)
