MHT CET 2024 23 April Shift 2 Questions with Solutions.

Question 1:

Let the six numbers a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6 be in A.P., and a1 + a3 = 10. If the mean of these six numbers is 19/2 and their variance is σ2, then 8σ2 is equal to:

  1. 220
  2. 210
  3. 200
  4. 105
Correct Answer: (2) 210
View Solution

Step 1: Represent the A.P. terms using the first term a1 and common difference d.
The general terms of the arithmetic progression are: a1, a1 + d, a1 + 2d, a1 + 3d, a1 + 4d, a1 + 5d.

Step 2: Using the condition a1 + a3 = 10:
a1 + (a1 + 2d) = 10
2a1 + 2d = 10
a1 + d = 5 ...... (1)

Step 3: Using the mean condition to find a1:
Mean = (a1 + (a1 + d) + (a1 + 2d) + (a1 + 3d) + (a1 + 4d) + (a1 + 5d)) / 6 = 19/2
(6a1 + 15d) / 6 = 19/2
6a1 + 15d = 57 ...... (2)

Step 4: Solving equations (1) and (2):
From (1), d = 5 - a1
Substituting into (2):
6a1 + 15(5 - a1) = 57
6a1 + 75 - 15a1 = 57
-9a1 + 75 = 57
-9a1 = -18
a1 = 2.
Substituting into (1): d = 5 - 2 = 3.

Step 5: Calculating the variance σ2:
The terms of the A.P. are: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17.
Mean = (2 + 5 + 8 + 11 + 14 + 17) / 6 = 19/2.
Variance formula: σ2 = (Sum of squares / Number of terms) - (Square of mean).
Sum of squares = 22 + 52 + 82 + 112 + 142 + 172 = 699.
σ2 = (699 / 6) - (19/2)2 = 116.5 - 90.25 = 26.25.

Step 6: Calculating 8σ2:
2 = 8 × 26.25 = 210.
