Explanation

Whole numbers start from 0; hence n whole numbers means n-1 natural numbers. Sum first n-1 natural numbers is {(n-1)(n-1+1)}/2 ; Average is ((n-1)*n)/(2*n) , Average is (n-1)/2.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Since the average is 8 more than the actual, the second number will increase by 72 (9 x 8) by interchanging the digits. If 'ab' is the second number, then 10a + b + 72 = 10b+ a, i.e. 9 (b - a) = 72b - a = 8 The possible number 'ab' is 19. Since the second number is 19, the first number is 18. So, X = 18
