Among the list of 10 numbers, 4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22, a new list (List M) 8 numbers can be made after taking out 2 numbers. What is the standard deviation of this new list (List M) of 8 numbers?

(1) The standard deviation of "List M" and the previous list (of 10 numbers) is the same

(2) List M does not include the number 22.


Can anyone help solving this problem?

likewhoa, IMO A. From B, according to me it will be tough to find out the other number that has been taken out from the list of 10 numbers.
Correct me If I am wrong

sujaysolanki, look from the question, statement - 1 is coming very sure to be he best option to chose. But stmt-2, after having little calculation, stmt-2 will come to you as not the correct option to chose. Thats how I chose the answer without doing any calculation obviously.
