Following are the wages of 8 workers 82, 96, 52, 75, 70, 65, 50, 70 . Find range and coefficient of range?

Option c: 46, 31.50. Solution: Given data: 82, 96, 52, 75, 70, 65, 50, 70 Step 1: Find Maximum and Minimum values. L = = 96, S = = 50 Step 2: Calculate Range. Range = L - S = 96 - 50 = 46 Step 3: Calculate Coefficient of Range. Coefficient of Range = L - S/L + S × 100 = 96 - 50/96 + 50 × 100 = 46/146 × 100 = 0.3151 × 100 ≈ 31.50% Result: Range = 46, Coefficient of Range = 31.50 Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

Correct Answer

✅ Option c — $\displaystyle 46, 31.50$

All Options:

A $\displaystyle 46, 32.70$
B $\displaystyle 43, 31.50$
C $\displaystyle 46, 31.50$
D $\displaystyle 43, 32.70$

Detailed Solution & Explanation

**Given data:** 82, 96, 52, 75, 70, 65, 50, 70 **Step 1: Find Maximum and Minimum values.**

L = \max = 96, \quad S = \min = 50

**Step 2: Calculate Range.**

\text{Range} = L - S = 96 - 50 = 46

**Step 3: Calculate Coefficient of Range.**

\text{Coefficient of Range} = \frac{L - S}{L + S} \times 100 = \frac{96 - 50}{96 + 50} \times 100

= \frac{46}{146} \times 100 = 0.3151 \times 100 \approx 31.50\%

**Result:** Range = 46, Coefficient of Range = 31.50 Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.

Exam Strategy Tip

Do not just memorize formulas; ICAI loves asking about the mathematical properties (e.g., 'sum of deviations from the AM is always zero'). You can usually eliminate 2 options just by knowing the properties.
