(B) Given that the mean of $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_{10}$ is $20$,we have: $\frac{x_1 + x_2 + \dots + x_{10}}{10} = 20 \implies \sum_{i=1}^{10} x_i = 200$ The new set of observations is $(x_1 + 4), (x_2 + 8), \dots, (x_{10} + 40)$. The mean of the new set is: $	ext{Mean} = \frac{(x_1 + 4) + (x_2 + 8) + \dots + (x_{10} + 40)}{10}$ $	ext{Mean} = \frac{(x_1 + x_2 + \dots + x_{10}) + (4 + 8 + \dots + 40)}{10}$ $	ext{Mean} = \frac{\sum x_i}{10} + \frac{4(1 + 2 + \dots + 10)}{10}$ Using the sum of first $n$ natural numbers formula $\sum_{k=1}^{n} k = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$,we get $\sum_{k=1}^{10} k = \frac{10 	imes 11}{2} = 55$. $	ext{Mean} = 20 + \frac{4 	imes 55}{10} = 20 + \frac{220}{10} = 20 + 22 = 42$.

If the mean of a set of observations $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_{10}$ is $20$,then find the mean of $x_1 + 4, x_2 + 8, x_3 + 12, \dots, x_{10} + 40$.
