Explanation:

(c)

Average = Sum of observaitons/Number of observations

Sum of heights of n persons = Average height × Number of persons

= 160 × 𝑛.

Similarly, sum of heights of ‘m’ persons = 172 × m Average height of all persons

= Sum of height all the persons/Total number of persons

164 = 160n+172 m/m+n

⇒ 164(𝑚+𝑛) = 160𝑛 + 172𝑚

= 4n = 8m

⇒ 𝑚/𝑛 = 4/8 = 1/2

m : n = 1 : 2
