MCQ
Find the average of first $100$ positive numbers:
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $50$
  • $50.5$
  • D
    $51$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$50.5$

 We know that sum of $1$ to $n$ numbers $ = \frac{\text{n}(\text{n+1})}{1}$
Then sum of $1$ to $100 = \frac{{100}(100+1)}{2} = \frac{{100}\times{101}}{2} = \frac{10100}{2} = 5050$
Then average of $1$ to $100$ positive numbers $ = \frac{5050}{100} = 50.5$
