  • D9\displaystyle 9

Detailed Solution & Explanation

**Step 1: Find the total sum of all 15 observations.** Total sum=15×9=135\text{Total sum} = 15 \times 9 = 135 **Step 2: Find the sum of first 9 observations.** Sum of first 9=9×11=99\text{Sum of first 9} = 9 \times 11 = 99 **Step 3: Find the sum of remaining 6 observations.** Remaining observations =15−9=6\displaystyle = 15 - 9 = 6 Sum of remaining 6=135−99=36\text{Sum of remaining 6} = 135 - 99 = 36 **Step 4: Compute the AM of remaining observations.** AM of remaining=366=6\text{AM of remaining} = \frac{36}{6} = 6 Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
