F = {28, 29, 30, 31, 32}
G = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50}
Since sets have a uniform gap in between elements; Mean = Median
Mean of F = 30
Mean of G = 30
SD is square root of variance. Variance is a measure of sparseness of teh set (Distance of elements from their mean)
By mere looking, we can see that Set F is more clustered (less distance between mean and other values. Set G is more sparse (A gap of atleast 10 between mean and other values)
Since, Variance in Set G > Variance in Set F
S.D in Set G > S.D in Set F
Answer is B

S.D in Set G > S.D in Set F
