In this research study, modified family of estimators is proposed to estimate the population variance of the study variable when the population variance, quartiles, median and the coefficient of correlation of auxiliary variable are known. The expression of bias and mean squared error (MSE) of the proposed estimator are derived. Comparisons of the proposed estimator with the other existing are conducted estimators. The results obtained were illustrated numerically by using primary data sets. Theoretical and numerical justification of the proposed estimator was done to show its dominance.
