1.

Two consecutive number p,p + 1 are removed from natural numbers. 1,2,3, 4……….., `n-1,` n such that arithmetic mean of these number reduces by 1, then (n-p) is equal to.A. `1`B. `2`C. `3`D. `4`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`A.M`. of `1,2,3,4,…….,n`
`((n(n+1))/(2))/(n) = (n+1)/(2)`
If `p,p+1` are removed then
`A.M.=((n(n+1))/(2)-(2p+1))/(n-2)`
` therefore 1=((n+1)/(2))-((n(n+1)-2(2p+1))/(2.(n-2)))`
`implies(n-p)=1`
