  1. While finding P(X≤82) for Bin(200,0.5)
    Mean =np = 200*0.5 =100 agreed
    So in denominator it should be npq= √200*0.5*0.95= √95
    In calculation for Z value
    Why √50 is used here ?
    Thanks in advance.

    You are doing a calculation mistake.
    Here p = 0.5, hence q = (1-p) = 1-0.5 = 0.5
    Therefore variance = npq = 200*0.5*0.5 = 50
