Suppose a box and whisker diagram was given with no data of mean and standard deviation. Diagram

I am able to find the range of Mean(NOT sure if it is correct) as $\frac{(Xmin+Q1+Q2+Q3)}{4}$$<mean<\frac{(Q1+Q2+Q3+Xmax)}{4}$

where

Q1=first quartile

Q2=median

Q3=third quartile

Since $\frac{Xmin+Q1}{2}$<mean<$\frac{Q3+Xmax}{2}$

The possible location of mean is shown as below: Diagram but I don't know the range of standard deviation. I know that the more disperse the data is, the higher the standard deviation. That mean the larger the difference between mean and the data, the higher the standard deviation.But I do not know which quartile the mean is in, so can not find the range of standard deviation. Can somebody give me some hints?
