Mean of 1, 2, 4, 5, x, y is 5
and variance is 10

\Rightarrow$ mean $\Rightarrow \frac{12+\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}}{6}=5
12+x+y=30
x+y=18

\text{and by variance }= \frac{x^{2}+y^{2}+46}{6}-5^{2}=10
\mathrm{x}^{2}+\mathrm{y}^{2}=164
x=8 \quad y=10

\text{mean daviation}=\frac{|\mathrm{x}-\overline{\mathrm{x}}|}{6}
\Rightarrow \frac{4+3+1+0+3+5}{6}=\frac{16}{6}=\frac{8}{3}
