If the variance of the terms in an increasingA.P.b1b2,b3,..,b11is90then the common difference of thisA.P.is

Answer:
3.00
Solution:

Givenb1,b2,b3,..b11, are in A.P. 

 Variance of b1,b2,..b11=Variance of (0,d,2d,..10d)=90

  i=111bi211-i=111bi112=90

  d211·10.11.216-d2·5511·5511=90

  35d2-25d2=90

  d2=9 d=±3

It is an increasing A.P. d is positive.

  d=3
