Question

If mode of a series exceeds its mean by 12, then mode exceeds the median by
A. 4
B. 8
C. 6
D. 10

Answer 1

The mode exceeds the median by 8

Answer 2

B. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mode of a series exceeds its mean  = Mode - mean = 12

Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean

Mode - mean = 3 median - 3 mean

12 = 3 (median - mean)

Median - mean = 4  

 Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean

Mode - Median = 2 (Median - mean) = 2 * 4 = 8

Option B is the answer.
