    What is the arithmetic mean of 2, ...............9, 10 and 11?

    A)  \[6.5\]        

    B)  7              

    C)  7.5                 

    D)  8

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a): A.M \[=\frac{\sum{xi}}{n}=\frac{2+........11}{10}=\frac{\left\{ \left( 1+...........11 \right)-1 \right\}}{10}\] \[{}^{=\left\{ \left( \frac{11\times 12}{2} \right)-1 \right\}}/{}_{10=\frac{65}{10}=6.5}\] We have purposely written it like this so that we get Gaussian identity. Which is sum of first 'n' natural numbers \[=\frac{n\left( n+1 \right)}{2}\]
