Mathematics Question from JEE Main 2026 · 21 January, Shift 1

Let the mean and variance of 77 observations 2,4,10,x,12,14,y2, 4, 10, x, 12, 14, y, where x>yx > y, be 88 and 1616 respectively. Two numbers are chosen from {1,2,3,x4,y,5}\{1, 2, 3, x-4, y, 5\} one after another without replacement, then the probability, that the smaller number among the two chosen numbers is less than 44, is:

  • A

    45\frac{4}{5}

  • B

    35\frac{3}{5}

  • C

    25\frac{2}{5}

  • D
