Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

Given:1.20, 1.00, 0.90, 1.40, 0.80, 1.20, 1.10
Sum of the numbers = 1.20 + 1.00 + 0.90 + 1.40 + 0.80 + 1.20 + 1.10  
= 7.60

Number of terms = 7

Mean, m = 7.60 ÷ 7 = 1.0857 (to 4 d.p.)
Highest value = 1.40 
Lowest value = 0.80

Range, r = 1.40 − 0.80 = 0.60
m + r = 1.0857 + 0.60 = 1.6857 closest to 1.65.
