The mean and the standard deviation (s.d.) of $10$ observations are $20$ and $2$ respectively. Each of these $10$ observations is multiplied by $p$ and then reduced by $q$,where $p \neq 0$ and $q \neq 0$. If the new mean and new s.d. become half of their original values,then $q$ is equal to

  • A
    $-20$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $-10$
  • D
    $-5$
