Let in a series of $2 n$ observations, half of them are equal to $a$ and remaining half are equal to $- a$. Also by adding a constant $b$ in each of these observations, the mean and standard deviation of new set become 5 and 20 , respectively. Then the value of $a ^ { 2 } + b ^ { 2 }$ is equal to:
(1) 425
(2) 650
(3) 250
(4) 925
