This research study is designed to obtain a more precise class of estimators of a population variance by taking advantage of relation between auxiliary variable and study variable. Here a class of new modified ratio type estimators of population variance by using coefficient of variation (CV), standard deviation, mean and median of auxiliary variable. Further empirical study is made to compare bias and mean square error (MSE) of proposed estimators with the existing estimators. Expressions for bias and MSE are obtained. Few secondary data sets are used to check the efficiency of proposed estimators of population variance. Article history Received: 29 March 2018 Accepted: 14 June 2018
