Consider a set of $3 n$ numbers having variance $4.$ In this set, the mean of first $2 n$ numbers is $6$ and the mean of the remaining $n$ numbers is $3.$ A new set is constructed by adding $1$ into each of first $2 n$ numbers, and subtracting $1$ from each of the remaining $n$ numbers. If the variance of the new set is $k$, then $9 k$ is equal to .... .

Let the mean and variance of $12$ observations be $\frac{9}{2}$ and $4$ respectively. Later on, it was observed that two observations were considered as $9$ and $10$ instead of $7$ and $14$ respectively. If the correct variance is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are co-prime, then $m + n$ is equal to
