Model Answer
(a) Mode = 3 Median − 2 Mean
Explanation
The empirical relationship given in the NCERT textbook (Chapter 13, Remarks after Section 13.4) is: 3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean, which rearranges to Mode = 3 Median − 2 Mean. Remember this formula exactly — it is a standard 1-mark question in board exams.
