Options:
  • A $\quad a+c \bar{x}$
  • B $\mathrm{a}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{c}} \overline{\mathrm{x}}$
  • C $\quad \frac{1}{x} \bar{x}-a$
  • D $\underline{\mathrm{X}-}$

The correct answer is: $\underline{\mathrm{X}-}$
Given, Mean of $x_{i}=\bar{x}$ Also, Given $x_{i}=a+c y_{i}$ Mean of $\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{cy}_{\mathrm{i}}=\overline{\mathrm{x}}$
$\Rightarrow$ Mean of $\mathrm{cy}_{\mathrm{i}}=\overline{\mathrm{x}}-\mathrm{a}$
$\Rightarrow$ Mean of $y_{i}=\frac{\bar{x}-a}{c}$
