$A$ student measures time for $20$ oscillations of a simple pendulum as $30 \ s, 32 \ s, 35 \ s$ and $35 \ s$. If the minimum division in the measuring clock is $1 \ s$,then the correct mean time (in seconds) is:

  • A
    $(33 \pm 2)$
  • B
    $(32 \pm 3)$
  • C
    $(33 \pm 3)$
  • D
    $(32 \pm 2)$
