SSC CGL 2024 (Tier-I) Previous Year Paper (17-Sep-2024) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

47.826

The coefficient of variation (CV) is defined as the ratio of the standard deviation (σ) to the mean (μ). The formula for CV is:
CV = (σ / μ) * 100. Rearranging the formula to solve for μ:
μ = σ / (CV / 100).
Given that CV = 23 and σ = 11, we can calculate the mean as:
μ = 11 / (23 / 100) = 47.826.
