A.

71.15

B.

77.85

C.

68.2

D.

62.5

Correct option is A

Given:

Mode = 52.7

Median = 65

Find the Mean (round to 1 decimal place)

Formula Used:
Mode=3×Median2×Mean \text{Mode} = 3 \times \text{Median} - 2 \times \text{Mean}​​
Mean=3×MedianMode2\text{Mean} =\dfrac{3 \times \text{Median} - \text{Mode}}{2}​​

Solution:
Mean=3×6552.72\text{Mean}= \frac{3 \times 65 - 52.7}{2}​​
=19552.72 \frac{195 - 52.7}{2}​​

=142.32= \frac{142.3}{2}​​
= 71.15
