Detailed Solution & Explanation

The intersection point of the two regression lines corresponds to the arithmetic means of the variables, (xˉ,yˉ)\displaystyle (\bar{x}, \bar{y}). Thus, we can find the means of x\displaystyle x and y\displaystyle y by solving the system of simultaneous equations: 1) x+2y5=0\displaystyle x + 2y - 5 = 0 2) 2x+3y8=0\displaystyle 2x + 3y - 8 = 0 Multiply Equation (1) by 2\displaystyle 2: 2x+4y10=0— (Equation 3)2x + 4y - 10 = 0 \quad \text{--- (Equation 3)} Subtract Equation (2) from Equation (3): (2x+4y10)(2x+3y8)=0(2x + 4y - 10) - (2x + 3y - 8) = 0 y2=0    y=2y - 2 = 0 \implies y = 2 Therefore, the mean of y\displaystyle y is: yˉ=2\bar{y} = 2 Substitute y=2\displaystyle y = 2 back into Equation (1): x+2(2)5=0x + 2(2) - 5 = 0 x+45=0x + 4 - 5 = 0 x1=0    x=1x - 1 = 0 \implies x = 1 Therefore, the mean of x\displaystyle x is: xˉ=1\bar{x} = 1 The mean of x\displaystyle x and the mean of y\displaystyle y are 1\displaystyle 1 and 2\displaystyle 2 respectively. Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
