For a dataset of 10 numbers, Σx = 500 and Σx² = 26000. The coefficient of variation (%) is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

For a dataset of 10 numbers, Σx = 500 and Σx² = 26000. The coefficient of variation (%) is:
A. 20
B. 25
C. 10
D. 15
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Mean=50. Variance = (26000/10) - 50² = 2600-2500=100. SD=10. CV = (10/50)×100 = 20%.
