Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

x=10

x? =63+a+b8=10

a+b=17

Since, variance is independent of origin.

So, we subtract 10 from each observation.

So,  σ2=13.5=79+ (a-10)2+ (b-10)28

a2+b2-20 (a+b)=-171

a2+b2=169

From (1) and (2) ; a=12 and b=5

x12+x22+x32+x42=4a+49

and x12+x22+x52+x42+x525(245)2=19425

4a+49+x525=576+19425

49 + 49 + x52=7705

49 +x52+49=154

4a + 149 = 154

4a = 5

Now,  f' (x)=limh0? f (x+h)-f (x)h=limh0? f (h)+xh2+x2hh ( take y=h)

=limh0? f (h)h+limh.0? (xh)+x2

f' (x)=1+0+x2

f' (3)=10

 =4+5+6+6+7+8+x+y8=6

x+y=12 …. (i)

And variance

(x6)2+ (y6)2=8 ……. (ii)

From (i) and (ii)

x = 4 and y = 8

x4+y2=320
