In a moderately skewed distribution the values of mean and median are 5 and 6 respectively. The value of mode in such a situation is approximately equal to:

A) 8
B) 11
C) 16
D) none of these

Correct Answer:

A) 8

Description for Correct answer:
Given that, mean = 5, median = 6

For a moderately skewed distribution,

We have Mode = 3 median - 2 mean

=> Mode = 3(6) - 2(5) = 8.
