For the study purpose, the mean of the observations is 148 gm and standard deviation is 17.4 gm. Approximately, the coefficient of variation equals to:

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2018 (Tier 2) Statistics Previous Year Paper (22-feb-2018)
The correct answer is

0.12

The Coefficient of Variation is the ratio of standard deviation to mean:

\[CV = \frac{\sigma}{\bar{x}} = \frac{17.4}{148} \approx 0.1176\]

Rounded to two decimals this is 0.12.
