JEE Advanced 2025 — Paper 1 — Question 28

Consider the following frequency distribution

Value458961211
Frequency5f1{{f}_{1}}f2{{f}_{2}}2113

Suppose that the sum of the frequencies is 19 and the median of this frequency distribution is 6 . For the given frequency distribution,

let α\alpha denote the mean deviation about the mean, β\beta denote the mean deviation about the median, and σ2\sigma^{2} denote the variance.

Match each entry in List-I to the correct entry in List-II and choose the correct option.

List-IList-II
(P)7f1+9f27{{f}_{1}}+9{{f}_{2}} is equal to(1)146
(Q)19α19\alpha is equal to(2)47
(R)19β19\beta is equal to(3)48
(S)19σ219{{\sigma }^{2}} is equal to(4)145
(5)55
  1. Option A:

    (A)(P)→(5),(Q)→(3),(R)→(2),(S)→(4)\left( \text{A} \right)\left( \text{P} \right)\to \left( 5 \right),\left( \text{Q} \right)\to \left( 3 \right),\left( \text{R} \right)\to \left( 2 \right),\left( \text{S} \right)\to \left( 4 \right)

  2. Option B:

    (P) →\rightarrow (5), (Q) →\rightarrow (2), (R) →\rightarrow (3), (S) →\rightarrow

  3. Option C:

    (P)→(5),(Q)→(3),(R)→(2),(S)→(1)(\mathrm{P}) \rightarrow(5),(\mathrm{Q}) \rightarrow(3),(\mathrm{R}) \rightarrow(2),(\mathrm{S}) \rightarrow(1)

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    (P)→(3),(Q)→(2),(R)→(5),(S)→(4)(\mathrm{P}) \rightarrow(3),(\mathrm{Q}) \rightarrow(2),(\mathrm{R}) \rightarrow(5),(\mathrm{S}) \rightarrow(4)
