Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Biology

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text { We know that Coefficient of Variation }=\) \(\frac{\text { Standard Deviation }}{\text { mean }} \)
\( \therefore \quad(\text { C.V. })_{\text {Physics }}=\frac{3}{20}=0.15 \text { and }(\text { C.V. })_{\text {Chemistry }}\) \(=\frac{2}{25}=0.08 \)
\( \left.\text { (C.V. })_{\text {Mathematics }}=\frac{4}{23}=0.174 \text { and (C.V. }\right)_{\text {Biology }}\) \(=\frac{5}{27}=0.185\)
