Consider the data 1,2,4,5,x,y.
So,
Mean=61+2+4+5+x+y
⇒5=6x+y+12
⇒x+y=18
And,
Variance=(n∑xi2)−(n∑xi)2
⇒10=(612+22+42+52+x2+y2)−(5)2
⇒x2+y2=164
We have x+y=18 and x2+y2=164.
Now solving above equations we get, x=10,y=8,
Now mean deviation about mean will be =6∑i=16∣xi−x∣
=6∣1−5∣+∣2−5∣+∣4−5∣+∣5−5∣+∣10−5∣+∣8−5∣
=616
=38
Therefore, the required answer is 38
