An online exam is attempted by 50 candidates out of which 20 are boys. The average marks obtained by boys is 12 with a variance 2. The variance of marks obtained by 30 girls is also 2. The average marks of all 50 candidates is 15. If μ is the average marks of girls and σ 2 is the variance of marks of 50 candidates, then μ + σ 2  is equal to____

Given variance of boys σ b 2 = 2 & x ¯ b = 1 2 (average marks of boys)

& variance of girls  σ g 2 = 2 & μ average marks of girls

N o w , x ¯ g = μ = 5 0 * 1 5 1 2 * 2 0 3 0 = 1 7           

σ 2 = 2 0 * 2 + 3 0 * 2 2 0 + 3 0 + 2 0 * 3 0 ( 2 0 + 3 0 ) 2 ( 1 2 1 7 ) 2 = 8            

S o , μ + σ 2 = 1 7 + 8 = 2 5

It's difficult but in some colleges you may can get 

  a + 5 b  is collinear with c  

  a + 5 b = c           …(1)

b + 6 c is collinear with a  

⇒   b + 6 c = μ a               …(2)

From (1) and (2)

  b + 6 c = μ ( λ c 5 b )          

-> ( 1 + 5 μ ) b + ( 6 λ μ ) c = 0

? b and c
