The $S.D.$ of a variate $x$ is $\sigma$. The $S.D.$ of the variate $\frac{{ax + b}}{c}$ where $a, b, c$ are constant, is

  • A

    $\left( {\frac{a}{c}} \right)\,\sigma $

  • B

    $\left| {\frac{a}{c}} \right|\,\sigma $

  • C

    $\left( {\frac{{{a^2}}}{{{c^2}}}} \right)\,\sigma $

  • D

    None of these
