Question
If mode of a series exceeds its mean by 12, then mode exceeds the median by
Options
4
8
6
10
Solution
Given: Mode − Mean = 12
We know that
Mode = 3Median − 2Mean
∴ Mode − Mean = 3(Median − Mean)
⇒ 12 = 3(Median − Mean)
⇒ Median − Mean = 4 .....(1)
Again,
Mode = 3Median − 2Mean
⇒ 2Mode = 6Median − 4Mean
⇒ Mode − Mean + Mode = 6Median − 5Mean
⇒ 12 + (Mode − Median) = 5(Median − Mean)
⇒12 + (Mode − Median) = 20 [Using (1)]
⇒ Mode − Median = 20 − 12 = 8
Hence, the correct option is (b).
