Q51 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (29 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

The sum and product of the mean and variance of a binomial distribution are 82.5 and 1350 respectively. They the number of trials in the binomial distribution is

Correct answer: 96

Solution

Given, sum of mean and variance is 82.5

Product of roots is 1350

Now, Mean and variance are the roots of 

x2-sum of rootsx+product of roots=0

⇒x2-82.5x+1350=0

⇒x=60 or 22.5

So, mean =np=60 and variance =npq=22.5

⇒ q=22.560=38

So, p=58 and n=6058=96

Hence, the correct answer is 96.
