The average of the first 43 natural numbers is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 22.
We know that,
The sum of numbers = Average × Number of terms
The sum of first n natural numbers = ½ × n(n + 1)
Average of n natural numbers = ½ × (n + 1)
According to the given question,
Average of first 43 numbers = ½ × (43 + 1) = ½ × 44 = 22
Hence, the required answer is 22.
