Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Given values are : $a+2, a, 2-a$


Arithmetic Mean, $AM = \dfrac{a+2+a+2-a}{3}$

$AM = \dfrac{a+4}{3}$

Hence, option B is corret

Multiple choice maths average arithmetic mean of ap introduction to averages means

The arithmetic mean of $1 + \sqrt { 2 }$ and $7 + 5 \sqrt { 2 }$ is $\sqrt { a } + \sqrt { b }$ . Then $a - b =$

  1. -1

  2. 1

  3. 2

  4. -2

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The arithmetic mean of $1+\sqrt{2}$ and $7+5\sqrt{2}$ is $\dfrac{1+\sqrt{2}+7+5\sqrt{2}}{2}=\dfrac{8+6\sqrt{2}}{2}=4+3\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{16}+\sqrt{18}$

$\implies \sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}=\sqrt{16}+\sqrt{18}$
$\implies a=16,b=18$
$a-b=16-18=-2$

Multiple choice maths average arithmetic mean of ap introduction to averages means

Mean of the first $n$ terms of the A.P. $a, (a + d), (a + 2d), ........$ is

  1. $\displaystyle a + \frac{nd}{2}$
  2. $\displaystyle a + \frac{(n - 1)d}{2}$
  3. $a + (n - 1) d$
  4. $a + nd$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Required mean $= \displaystyle \frac{a + (a + d) + (a + 2d) + ....... + { a + (n - 1) d }}{n}$
$\displaystyle = \frac{\displaystyle \frac{n}{2} [a + a + (n - 1) d]}{n} = a + \frac{(n - 1)d}{2}$
