The mean and the standard deviation of $10$ observations are $20$ and $2$ respectively. Each of these $10$ observations is multiplied by $p$ and then reduced by $q$,where $p \neq 0$ and $q \neq 0$. If the new mean and new standard deviation (s.d.) become half of the original values,then $q$ is equal to

Let the mean and variance of $8$ numbers $-10, -7, -1, x, y, 9, 2, 16$ be $\frac{7}{2}$ and $\frac{293}{4}$ respectively. Then the mean of $4$ numbers $x, y, x + y + 1, |x - y|$ is:
