  • question_answer
    The weighted mean of first n natural numbers whose weights are equal to the squares of corresponding numbers is                   [Pb. CET 1989]

    A)                 \[\frac{n+1}{2}\]    

    B)                 \[\frac{3n(n+1)}{2(2n+1)}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}\]      

    D)                 \[\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               Weighted mean = \[\frac{{{1.1}^{2}}+{{2.2}^{2}}+......+n.{{n}^{2}}}{{{1}^{2}}+{{2}^{2}}+......+{{n}^{2}}}\]                                                 \[=\frac{\Sigma {{n}^{3}}}{\Sigma {{n}^{2}}}=\frac{\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\,\,\frac{n(n+1)}{2}}{\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}}\]\[=\frac{3n(n+1)}{2(2n+1)}\].
