For a group of $100$ students,the mean $\bar{x}_1$ and the standard deviation $\sigma_1$ of their marks were found to be $40$ and $15$ respectively. Later,it was observed that the scores $40$ and $50$ were misread as $30$ and $60$ respectively. If the mean and the standard deviation with the corrected observations of the scores are $\bar{x}_2$ and $\sigma_2$ respectively,then:

  • A
    $\bar{x}_1=\bar{x}_2 ; \sigma_1=\sigma_2$
  • B
    $\bar{x}_1=\bar{x}_2 ; \sigma_1 < \sigma_2$
  • C
    $\bar{x}_1=\bar{x}_2 ; \sigma_1 > \sigma_2$
  • D
    $\bar{x}_1 > \bar{x}_2 ; \sigma_1=\sigma_2$
