Assertion (A): For a moderately skewed distribution, mean – mode ≈ 3(mean – median). Reason (R): In any skewed distribution, the median always lies between the mean and mode. Choose the correct option:
A. A is true, R is false
B. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
C. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
D. A is false, R is true
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The empirical relationship (A) is true for moderate skewness. In skewed distributions, median lies between mean and mode, but this fact does not directly explain the formula; it's an observed pattern.
