We know that the mode of a particular set of values is the value which occurs maximum times. For finding the mode, first we have to arrange the given set of data in ascending order. Then we will count the number of times a particular value occurs. The value which has the maximum number of occurrences is the mode.
Given data : $12,11,14,10,8,13,11,19$
Arranging in ascending order we have :
$8,10,11,11,12,13,14,19$
Thus, we can see that the value "11" occurs 2 times whereas all other values occur once.
Thus, "11" occurs maximum times. Thus, mode of the given data = 11.
Thus, mode of the given numbers = 11
Thus, the correct option is (a) .
