QJEEM20Ma171c: JEE Main 2020 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEM20Ma171c Solution: If the mean and variance of eight numbers 3, 7, 9, 12, 13, 20,…

If the mean and variance of eight numbers 3, 7, 9, 12, 13, 20, x and y be 10 and 25 respectively, then x.y is equal to _______.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Mean = 3+7+9+12+13+20+x+y8 = 10

16 = x + y ....(1)

Variance (σ2) = 25

⇒ 32+72+92+122+132+202+x2+y28 - 100 = 25

⇒ 125 × 8 = 9 + 49 + 81 + 144 + 169 + 400 + x2 + y2 - 800

⇒ x2 + y2 = 148

We know, (x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy

⇒ 256 = 148 + 2xy

⇒ x.y = 54
