Question

The marks of some students were listed out of 75.The SD of marks was found to be 9. Subsequently the marks were raised to a maximum of 100 and variance of new marks was calculated. The new variance is

Moderate

A

81
B

122
C

144
D

None of these

Solution

Given, $σ$ =9
Let a student obtains x marks out of 75. Then, his marks out of
100 are $\frac{4 x}{3}$ .Each observation multiple by $\frac{4}{3}$
Now, $SD, σ = \frac{4}{3} \times 9 = 12$
Hence, variance is $σ^{2} = 144$
