First 10 multiples of 3 are:

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30

Mean (\overline{x}) of the above values:

\\ \overline{x} = \frac{1}{10}\sum_{i=1}^{10}x_i = \frac{3+ 6+ 9+ 12+ 15+ 18+ 21+ 24+ 27+ 30}{10} \\ = 3.\frac{\frac{10(10+1)}{2}}{10} = 16.5

The respective values of the deviations from mean, (x_i - \overline{x}) are

-13.5, -10.5, -7.5, -4.5, -1.5, 1.5, 4.5, 7.5, 10.5, 13.5

\therefore  \sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i - 16.5)^2 = 742.5

\therefore \sigma^2 = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i - \overline{x})^2

\frac{1}{10}\sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i - \overline{x})^2= \frac{742.5}{10} = 74.25

Hence,  Mean = 16.5 and Variance = 74.25
