Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) B

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text { We know that C.V. }=\frac{\text { Standard Deviation }}{\text { Mean }} \\
& \therefore(\text { C.V. })_A=\frac{12}{18}=0.15 \text { and }(\text { C.V. })_B=\frac{6}{75}=0.08 \\
& (\text { C.V. })_C=\frac{8}{70}=0.11 \text { and }(\text { C.V. })_D=\frac{10}{72}=0.14
\end{aligned}
\)
C.V. is the least for division B.
