If the mean, median and mode of a data set are $1$, $3^x$ and $9^x$ respectively, the possible values of the mode are
- A. 1, 4
- B. 1, 9
- C. 3, 9
- D. 9, 8
✅ Correct Answer: 1, 4
Explanation
Using the relation $3 \times median = mode + 2 \times mean$ $3 \times 3^x = 9^x + 2$ $9^x - 3 \times 3^x + 2 = 0$ $3^x=1$ or $3^x=2$ So $9^x=1$ or $4$
