Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(68\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let number be \(a _{1}, a _{2}, a _{3}, \ldots \ldots a _{2 n }, b _{1}, b _{2}, b _{3} \ldots b _{ n }\) \(\sigma^{2}=\frac{\sum a^{2}+\sum b^{2}}{3 n}-(5)^{2}\) \(\Rightarrow \sum a^{2}+\sum b^{2}=87 n\) Now, distribution becomes…
