The correct answer is: a2+b2-c5

It is given that, zi=xi-x¯yi-y¯

And i=110zi=c

Rewrite the above equation.

i=110xi-x¯yi-y¯=c

 i=110xiyi-xiy¯-x¯yi+x¯·y¯=c

 i=110xiyi-i=110xiy¯-i=110x¯yi+i=110x¯·y¯=c

 i=110xiyi-10x¯·y¯-10x¯·y¯+10x¯·y¯=c

 i=110xiyi-10x¯·y¯=c

Now,

σx1-y1=110xi-yi2-x¯-y¯2

=110xi2+110yi2-15xiyi-x¯2-y¯2+2xy¯

=110xi2-x¯2+110yi2-y¯2-15xiyi-10xy¯

=a2+b2-c5
