Question

In a distribution the values of mean and median are $5$ and $6$ respectively. The value of mode in such a situation is approximately equal to

• A. $8$
• B. $11$
• C. $16$
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A $8$

Relationship between mean, mode and median is given by:
$mode=3\times \left(median\right)-2\times \left(mean\right)$
Given, mean $=5$ and median $=6$
$\therefore mode=3\times \left(median\right)-2\times \left(mean\right)$

$=3\left(6\right)-2\left(5\right)$

$=8$
