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

4.88

The mean absolute deviation (MAD) is calculated by taking the absolute differences from the mean, and then averaging those differences.

Mean of the numbers = (25 + 30 + 27 + 40 + 35) / 5 = 31.4

Absolute deviations: |25 - 31.4| = 6.4, |30 - 31.4| = 1.4, |27 - 31.4| = 4.4, |40 - 31.4| = 8.6, |35 - 31.4| = 3.6

MAD = (6.4 + 1.4 + 4.4 + 8.6 + 3.6) / 5 = 4.88
