    $\left( \frac{n_1 C_1^2 + n_2 C_2^2 + n_3 C_3^2 + .....}{n_1 + n_2 + n_3 + .....} \right)^{1/2}$
  • B
    $\frac{(n_1 C_1^2 + n_2 C_2^2 + n_3 C_3^2 + .....)^{1/2}}{n_1 + n_2 + n_3 + .....}$
  • C
    $\frac{(n_1 C_1^2)^{1/2}}{n_1} + \frac{(n_2 C_2^2)^{1/2}}{n_2} + \frac{(n_3 C_3^2)^{1/2}}{n_3} + ......$
