Solution

The correct option is C 1094.73,282.32
n1=25,¯x1=800,σ1=100, n2=70,¯x2=1200,σ2=250
¯x=n1¯x1+n2¯x2n1+n2=25×800+70×120095=1094.73 Rs.
d1=¯x1¯x=8001094.73=294.73 Rs.
d2=¯x2¯x=12001094.73=105.27 Rs.
σ2(n1+n2)=n1(σ21+d21)+n2(σ22+d22)
σ2(95)=25×(10000+86865.77)+70×(6250+11081.77)
σ2=79709.13
σ=282.32 Rs.
