The correct answer is: 603

We have,

X=11,12,13,.,40,41

nX=31

Y=61,62,63,...,90,91

nY=31

So,

x¯=i=1141i31=13141×422-10×112=26

y¯=i=6191i31=13191×922-60×612=73

Combined mean,

 μ=31×26+31×7631+31

μ=26+762=51

Also,

σ2=162×i=131xi-μ2+i=131yi-μ2

Since, xiX are in A.P. with 31 elements  common difference 1 , same is yiy, when written in increasing order.

i=131xi-μ2=i=131yi-μ2=102+112+.+402

=102+112+.+402

=40×41×816-9×10×196=21855

Hence, σ2=2185562+2185562=705

x¯+y¯-σ2=|26+76-705|=603
