Solution

The correct option is B

3233


Explanation for the correct option :

Find the standard deviation,

Each term in the series 3,6,9,12,...,30 is three times the corresponding term in the series 1,2,3,4,...,10.

So the variance of 3,6,9,12,...,30 is 32 times the variance of 1,2,3,4,...,10.

The variance of 1,2,3,4,...,10 is 9912.

So the variance of the series 3,6,9,12,...,30 is: 32×9912.

It is known that standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

So the standard deviation of the series 3,6,9,12,...,30 is:

32×9912=32×334=3×3322=3233

Hence, the correct option is B.
