Let \(S\) be the set of all values of \(a_1\) for which the mean deviation about the mean of \(100\) consecutive positive integers \(a _1, a _2, a _3, \ldots ., a _{100}\) is \(25\). Then \(S\) is

  1. A \(\phi\)
  2. B \(\{99\}\)
  3. C \(N\)
  4. D \(\{9\}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(N\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

let \(a_1\) be any natural number \(a_1, a_1+1, a_1+2, \ldots ., a_1+99 \text { are values of } a_i ' S\) \(\bar{x}=\frac{a_1+\left(a_1+1\right)+\left(a_1+2\right)+\ldots . .+a_1+99}{100}\) \(=\frac{100 a_1+(1+2+\ldots . .+99)}{100}=a_1+\frac{99 \times 100}{2 \times 100}\)…
