Suppose that the mean and median of the non-negative numbers \(21, 8, 17, a, 51, 103, b, 13, 67, (a > b)\), are \(40\) and \(21\), respectively. If the mean deviation about the median is \(26\), then \(2a\) is equal to:

  1. A \(109\)
  2. B \(117\)
  3. C \(161\)
  4. D \(131\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(131\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given numbers are \(21, 8, 17, a, 51, 103, b, 13, 67\). There are \(9\) numbers in total. Given that the mean is \(40\), the sum of the numbers is: \(\sum x_i = 9 \times 40 = 360\) The sum of the known numbers is: \(21 + 8 + 17 + 51 + 103 + 13 + 67 = 280\) Therefore, the sum…
