    $\bar{x} < \bar{x}_1$
  • B
    $\bar{x} > \bar{x}_2$
  • C

The mean and the standard deviation 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 standard deviation (s.d.) become half of the original values,then $q$ is equal to
