Detailed Solution

It is given that the mean of 75 numbers is 35. We need to find the new mean if each number is multiplied by 4.
We know that,
Mean=Sum of observationsNumber of observations
35=a0+a1+a2+.....+a7475
a0+a1+a2+.....+a74=35×75
a0+a1+a2+.....+a74=2625 — (1)
Let x be the new mean when each term is multiplied by 4.
x=4a0+4a1+4a2+.....+4a7475
x=4(a0+a1+a2+.....+a74)75
Substituting eq (1) in the above equation,
x=4×262575
x=140
Thus the new mean when each term is multiplied by 4 is 140.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
