Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mean \(=13\) Variance \(=\frac{9+49+144+ a ^{2}+(43- a )^{2}}{5}-13^{2} \in N\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{2 a^{2}-a+1}{5} \in N\) \(\Rightarrow 2 a^{2}-a+1-5 n=0\) must have solution as natural numbers its \(D=40 n-7\) always has \(3\) at unit place \(\Rightarrow D\) can't be perfect…
