B

$20$

C

$19$

D

$17$

Solution

We have

$\text { Variance }=\frac{\sum\limits_{ r =1}^{15} x _{ r }^{2}}{15}-\left(\frac{\sum\limits_{ r =1}^{15} x _{ r }}{15}\right)^{2}$

Now, as per information given in equation

$\frac{\sum x _{ r }^{2}}{15}-8^{2}=3^{2} \Rightarrow \sum x _{ T }^{2}=\log 5$

Now, the new $\sum x _{ r }^{2}=\log 5-5^{2}+20^{2}=1470$

And, new $\sum x _{ r }=(15 \times 8)-5+(20)=135$

Variance $=\frac{1470}{15}-\left(\frac{135}{15}\right)^{2}=98-81=17$
