1) standard deviation of set B will be one-fourth of set A.
so SDb < SDa
2) NOT SUFFICIENT



ans: A

The rule of Standard deviation is that it gets multiplied/divided by the number say x, when each integer of the set is multiplied/divided respectively by x,

A) Hence standard deviation of B= 1/4 * standard deviation of A=
=> S.D. of B< S.D. of A

B) A can be greater than, equal to or less than B, all 3 cases possible, hence insufficient
