Question

Which of the following options will give negative deviation for 182?

• A. 170
• B. 180
• C. 190
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C 190

Deviation is the number by which the given number exceeds the base or is less than the base
When we take 170 as base, the deviation is 182 – 170 = 12
When we take 180 as base, the deviation is 182 –180 = 2
So, when we take 190 as base, the deviation is 182 – 190 = -8
Hence, option C is correct.
