    The mean deviation from the mean of A.P. \[\mathbf{a},\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{d},\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{2d}....\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{2}\]and is:

    A) (a) \[\frac{n(n+1).d}{2n+1}\]    

    B) (b) \[n(n+1).d\]

    C) (c) \[\frac{n(n-1).d}{2n+1}\]                  

    D) (d) \[\frac{n(n+1).d}{2n}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\because \overline{x}=\frac{\frac{2n+1}{2}(a+a+2nd)}{2n+1}\] \[=a+nd\sum{\left| x-\overline{x} \right|}=1+2+3+......n\] \[=2nd\frac{n(n+1)d}{2n+1}=n(n+1).d\] \[\therefore \]Mean deviation \[=\frac{n(n+1)d}{2n+1}\]   Hence, option [a]is correct.
