Answer

B. 320

Explanation

Mean $$ = {{4 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 8 + x + y} \over 8} = 6$$ $$\therefore$$ $$x + y = 12$$ ..... (i) And variance $$ = {{{2^2} + {1^2} + {0^2} + {0^2} + {1^2} + {2^2} + {{(x - 6)}^2} + {{(y - 6)}^2}} \over 8}$$ $$ = {9 \over 4}$$ $$\therefore$$ $${(x - 6)^2} + {(y - 6)^2} = 8$$ ..... (ii) From (i) and (ii) x = 4 and y = 8 $$\therefore$$ $${x^4} + {y^2} = 320$$
