The mean of consecutive positive integers... - Solved

Question 54

Logical Reasoning Aptitude Easy

The mean of consecutive positive integers from 2 to \(n\) is:

(A) \(\frac{n + 2}{2}\)

(B) \(\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}\)

(C) \(\frac{n + 1}{2}\)

(D) \(\frac{n - 1}{2}\)

✓ Correct Answer: Option A Verified Solution

The mean of a set of consecutive integers can be found using the formula:
Mean = (First Term + Last Term) / 2

In this problem, the consecutive positive integers are from 2 to n.

Substituting these values into the formula:
Mean = (2 + n) / 2
Mean = (n + 2) / 2

The correct option is (A) (n+2)/2.
