Statement I The range of the ungrouped data does not change even if certain intermediate observations are removed
Statement II The value of the mean deviation of an ungrouped data about the median is always less than or equal to the value of the mean deviation computed about any other measure of central tendency
Statement III For a grouped data, range is approximated as the difference between the lower limit of the largest class and the upper limit of the smallest class

Let $x_1=-y_1, x_2=-y_2, x_3=-y_3$, …., $x_n=-y_n$ where $y_1, y_2, y_3, \ldots \ldots y_n$ are positive numbers.
Now, the series is $-y_1,-y_2,-y_3, \ldots,-y_n \left(y_1>y_2>y_3>y_4>\ldots>y_n\right)$ If the sign first and last term are changed, then the series in ascending order are

B.
b2 = 3(a2 + c2) $-$ 9d2
C.
b2 = 3(a2 + c2 + d2)

The mean age of 25 teachers in a school is 40 years. A teacher retires at the age of 60 years and a new teacher is appointed in his place. If the mean age of the teachers in this school now is 39 years, then the age (in years) of the newly appointed teacher is _________.
Correct Answer: 35
Explanation:
Mean $\left( {\overline x } \right)$ = ${{{x_1} + {x_2}..... + {x_n}} \over n}$ = ${{\sum x } \over n}$
After retireing of a 60 year old teacher, total age of 24 teachers,
x1 + x2 + . . . . . .x24 = 1000 $-$ 60 = 940
Now a new teacher of age A year is appointed.
$\therefore$ Now total age of this 25 teachers
x1 + x2 + x3 + . . . . . + x25 = 940 + A
$\therefore$ Mean age = ${{940 + A} \over {25}}$
According to question,
${{940 + A} \over {25}}$ = 39
$ \Rightarrow $ A = 35
