A) 5
B) 10
C) 15
D) 20
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Let the 20 items be \[{{x}_{1}},{{x}_{2}},.......{{x}_{20}},\] then sum of these \[={{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}+..........{{x}_{20}}=20\times 5=100\] Multiplying each item by 3 and adding the result, we get \[3{{x}_{1}}+3{{x}_{2}}+...........3{{x}_{20}}=3\times 20\times 5=300\] Hence, the new mean\[=\frac{300}{20}=15.\]
