Let the mean and variance of four numbers $3,7, x$ and $y(x>y)$ be $5$ and $10$ respectively. Then the mean of four numbers $3+2 \mathrm{x}, 7+2 \mathrm{y}, \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}$ and $x-y$ is ..... .

A

$10$

B

$11$

C

$12$

D

$48$

Solution

$5=\frac{3+7+x+y}{4} \Rightarrow x+y=10$

$\operatorname{Var}(x)=10=\frac{3^{2}+7^{2}+x^{2}+y^{2}}{4}-25$

$140=49+9+x^{2}+y^{2}$

$x^{2}+y^{2}=82$

$x+y=10$

$\Rightarrow(x, y)=(9,1)$

Four numbers are $21,9,10,8$

$\text { Mean }=\frac{48}{4}=12$
