    The mean of the data \[x,x+a,x+2a,x+3a,......(2n+1\,\,terms)\]is _____.

    A)  \[x+(n-1)a\]                 

    B)  \[x+(n+1)a\]

    C)  \[x+(n+2)a\]                

    D)  \[x+an\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (d): Sum \[=x+(x+a)+.........\] \[=(2n+1)x+[a+2a+3a+.......2n.a]\] \[=(2n+1)x+\frac{2n}{2}\{2a+(2n-1)a\}\] Or, \[{{S}_{n}}=(2n+1)x+\frac{2n}{2}\times a(2n+1)\] \[\therefore \] Mean \[=\frac{{{S}_{n}}}{2n+1}=x+na\]
