Solution

The correct option is B False
A word of caution:
Karl Pearson relation given by
Mode = 3(Median) - 2(Mean)
is an empirical formula which works best for a particular kind of data. It gives an approximate value of mode.
Therefore, exact value of mode cannot be calculated if mean and median are given.
