Step -1: Finding the sum of first 10 observations. \textbf{Step -1:
Finding the sum of first 10 observations.} Step -1: Finding the sum of first 10 observations.
Average of first 10 observations = 4.5 \text{Average of first 10
observations}=4.5 Average of first 10 observations = 4.5
∵ Average = Sum of observations Number of observations . \mathbf{\because\text{Average}=\dfrac{\text{Sum
of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}.} ∵ Average = Number of observations Sum of observations .
∴ 4.5 = Sum of first 10 observations 10 \therefore4.5=\dfrac{\text{Sum of first 10
observations}}{10} ∴ 4.5 = 10 Sum of first 10 observations
⇒ Sum of first 10 observations = 4.5 × 10 = 45 \Rightarrow\text{Sum of first 10
observations}=4.5\times10=45 ⇒ Sum of first 10 observations = 4.5 × 10 = 45
Step -2: Finding the sum of remaining 30 observations. \textbf{Step -2: Finding the sum of remaining 30 observations.} Step -2: Finding the sum of remaining 30 observations.
Average of remaining 30 observations = 3.5 \text{Average of remaining 30
observations}=3.5 Average of remaining 30 observations = 3.5
∴ 3.5 = Sum of remaining 30 observations 30 \therefore3.5=\dfrac{\text{Sum of
remaining 30 observations}}{30} ∴ 3.5 = 30 Sum of remaining 30 observations
⇒ Sum of remaining 30 observations = 3.5 × 30 = 105 \Rightarrow\text{Sum of remaining 30
observations}=3.5\times30=105 ⇒ Sum of remaining 30 observations = 3.5 × 30 = 105
Step -3: Finding the average of the whole group. \textbf{Step -3:
Finding the average of the whole group.} Step -3: Finding the average of the whole group.
Sum of total 40 students = 45 + 105 = 150 \text{Sum of total 40
students}=45+105=150 Sum of total 40 students = 45 + 105 = 150
Number of total observations = 40 \text{Number of total observations}=40 Number of total observations = 40
Average of the whole group = 150 40 \text{Average of the whole
group}=\dfrac{150}{40} Average of the whole group = 40 150
= 15 4 =\dfrac{15}{4} = 4 15
Hence, option B is correct. \textbf{ Hence, option B is correct.} Hence, option B is correct.
