Question

The price of 500 ml plastic containers from various stores is listed. Which of the following gives the range of the data, if each price is increased by 5 rupees?

• A. 22
• B. 25
• C. 28
• D. 26

Answer 1

The correct option is C 28

The given data set is

15, 30, 25, 40, 12, 16

It is given that, each price is increased by 5 rupees.

Hence, the new data set is

20, 35, 30, 45, 17, 21

$\because$ Range = Maximum value - Minimum value

Here,
Maximum value = 45

Minimum value = 17

$\therefore$ Range = 45 - 17
= 28

Hence, the range of data after increase in price is 28.
