उत्तर

We know: \[CV = \frac{\sigma}{\bar{X}} \times 100\]

\[\bar{{X_m}} = 42, \sigma_m = 12\]

\[ \bar{{X_p}} = 32, \sigma_p = 15\]

\[ \bar{{X_c}} = 40 . 9, \sigma_c = 20\]

CV of mathematics marks 

\[= \frac{12}{42} \times 100 = \frac{1200}{42} = 28 . 57\]
CV of physics marks ​
 
\[= \frac{15}{32} \times 100 = \frac{1500}{32} = 46 . 87\]
CV of chemistry marks  \[= \frac{20}{40 . 9} \times 100 = \frac{2000}{40 . 9} = 48 . 89\]

Since CV of chemistry is the greatest, the variability of marks in chemistry is the highest and that of mathematics is the lowest.
