• B. $2501\&2502$
• C. Only $2501$
• D. Only $2502$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $2501\&2502$

The given data set is already in ascending order.

$312$

$442$

$565$

$652$

$742$

$\underset{–}{2501}$

$\underset{–}{2502}$

In the above data set, $2501$ and $2502$ are much larger than all other remaining data points.

$\therefore 2501\&2502$ are outliers for the given data set.
