The first of the two samples in a group has $100$ items with mean $15$ and standard deviation $3$. If the whole group has $250$ items with mean $15.6$ and standard deviation $\sqrt{13.44}$,then the standard deviation of the second sample is:

Let $\bar{x}, M$ and $\sigma^2$ be respectively the mean,mode and variance of $n$ observations $x_1, x_2, ..., x_n$ and $d_i = -x_i - a, i = 1, 2, ..., n$,where $a$ is any number. Statement $I$: Variance of $d_1, d_2, ..., d_n$ is $\sigma^2$. Statement $II$: Mean and mode of $d_1, d_2, ..., d_n$ are $-\bar{x} - a$ and $-M - a$,respectively.
