Given a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6 are in A.P 
Let T1=a1=a
Common difference =d
Also given a1+a3=10
a+a+2d=102a+2d=10 (1) 
Mean of six numbers is 192
a1+a2+a3+a4+a5+a66=192a+(a+d)+(a+2d)+(a+3d)+(a+4d)+(a+5d)=6×1926a+15d=3×192a+5d=19.(2)
 Eq. (1) \& (2) 3d=9d=3
 Also 2a+2(3)=102a=4a=2
 six numbers are 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17
Wkt variance =σ2=xi2nμ2
