Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sigma_{b}^{2}=2 \quad\) (variance of boys) \(n_{1}=\) no. of boys \(\bar{x}_{b}=12 \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad n_{2}=\) no. of girls \(\sigma_{\mathrm{g}}^{2}=2\) \(\bar{x}_{g}=\frac{50 \times 15-12 \times \sigma_{b}}{30}=\frac{750-12 \times 20}{30}=17=\mu\)…
