Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(37\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{x_1+x_2+\ldots .+x_7}{7}=8\) \(\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3 \ldots .+x_6+14}{7}=8\) \(\Rightarrow x_1+x_2+\ldots .+x_6=42\) \(\therefore \frac{x_1+x_2 \ldots .+x_6}{6}=\frac{42}{6}=7=a\) \(\frac{\sum x_i^2}{7}-8^2=16\) \(\Rightarrow x^2=560\)…
