Correct option is : (3) 7 

x     C       2C    3C     4C      5C      6C   
f   2 1 1 1 1 1

\(\bar{x}=\frac{(2+2+3+4+5+6) C}{7}=\frac{22 C}{7}\) 

\(\operatorname{Var}(\mathrm{x})=\frac{\mathrm{c}^{2}\left(2+2^{2}+3^{2}+4^{2}+5^{2}+6^{2}\right)}{7}\)

\(-\left(\frac{22 c}{7}\right)^{2}\)

\(=\frac{92 c^{2}}{7}-c^{2} \times \frac{484}{49}\)

\(=\frac{(644-484) \mathrm{c}^{2}}{49}=\frac{160 \mathrm{c}^{2}}{49}\)

\(160=\frac{160 \times \mathrm{c}^{2}}{49} \Rightarrow \mathrm{c}=7\)
