A Correct answer
Explanation

The sum of the first n natural numbers is n(n+1)/2. The mean is the sum divided by n, which is (n(n+1)/2) / n = (n+1)/2.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Total students = 8 + 7 + f1 + 15 + 5 + f2 + 7 = 42 + f1 + f2 = 60. Thus, f1 + f2 = 18. Using the mean formula (sum of f*x / sum of f) = 64 with midpoints: (35*8 + 45*7 + 55*f1 + 65*15 + 75*5 + 85*f2 + 95*7) / 60 = 64. Solving this system gives f1 = 10 and f2 = 8. The ratio f1 : f2 = 10 : 8 = 5 : 4.
