Solution
Mean Height = `"Sum of heights of all students"/"Number of students"`
150 = `(154 + 145 + "Y" + ("Y" + 4) + 160 + 151 + 149 + 149 + 150 + 144 + 140)/11`
150 = `(1342 + "Y" + "Y" + 4)/11`
150 = `(1346 + 2"Y")/11`
150 × 11 = 1346 + 2Y
1650 = 1346 + 2Y
2Y = 1650 – 1346 = 304
Y = `304/2` = 152
Height of two students are Y and Y + 4
⇒ 152 and 152 + 4
⇒ 152 cm and 156 cm
