    If the mean deviation of the numbers \[1,\,\,1+d,\] \[1+2d,...1+100d\] from their mean is 255, then d is equal to:

    A) 20.0

    B) 10.1

    C) 20.2

    D) 10.0

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Mean \[=\frac{101+d(1+2+3+...+100)}{101}\] \[=1+\frac{d\times 100\times 101}{101\times 2}=1+50d\] \[\because \] Mean deviation from the mean = 255 \[\Rightarrow \frac{1}{101}[\left| 1-(1+50d) \right|+\left| (1+d)-(1+50d) \right|+\left| (1+2d)-(1+5d) \right|\]\[-(1+50d)|+...+\left| (1+100d)-(1+50d) \right|]=255\] \[\Rightarrow 2d[1+2+3+...+50]=101\times 255\] \[\Rightarrow 2d\times \frac{50\times 51}{2}=101\times 255\] \[\Rightarrow d=\frac{101\times 255}{50\times 51}=10.1\]
