Assertion (A): Mean of the prime number lying between 5 and 20 is 13.4.

Reason (R): Mean = sum of all observationsnumber of observations\dfrac{\text{sum of all observations}}{\text{number of observations}}

  1. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

  2. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

  3. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) is the correct reason for Assertion (A).

  4. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) is incorrect reason for Assertion (A).

Answer

The prime numbers between 5 and 20 are: 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 .

There are 5 such primes.

By formula,

Mean = sum of all observationsnumber of observations\dfrac{\text{sum of all observations}}{\text{number of observations}}

∴ Reason (R) is true.

Mean = 7+11+13+17+195=675\dfrac{7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19}{5} = \dfrac{67}{5} = 13.4

∴ Assertion (A) is true.

∴ Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) is the correct reason for Assertion (A).

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
