Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:

1st sample: n? =100, x? =15, σ? =3. Σx? = 1500. Σx? ² = n? (σ? ²+x? ²) = 100 (9+225) = 23400.
Whole group: n=250, x? =15.6, σ²=13.44. Σx = 250*15.6 = 3900.
2nd sample: n? =150. Σy? = 3900 - 1500 = 2400. y? = 2400/150 = 16.
Σ (x+y)² = n (σ²+x? ²) = 250 (13.44+15.6²) = 250 (13.44+243.36) = 64200.
Σy? ² =
