If the mean deviation about the median of the numbers k, 2k, 3k, , 1000k is 500, then k2 is equal to :

  1. 1
  2. 16
  3. 9
  4. 4

Answer

(4) 4

Solution

There are 1000 numbers, so the median M = 500k + 501k2 = 500.5k

M.D.(M) = 11000 i=11000 |ik - 500.5k| = |k|1000 i=11000 |i - 500.5|

The deviations are 0.5, 1.5, , 499.5, each occurring twice:

|i - 500.5| = 2(0.5 + 1.5 + + 499.5) = 2 5002(0.5 + 499.5)

= 250000

M.D. = |k| 2500001000 = 250|k| = 500

|k| = 2 k2 = 4
