The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the two consecutive numbers removed from the series 1, 2, 3, ..., n, given that the arithmetic mean of the remaining numbers is \( \frac{105}{4} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Removed Numbers Let the two consecutive numbers removed be \( a \) and \( a + 1 \). ### Step 2: Calculate the Sum of the First n Natural Numbers The sum of the first \( n \) natural numbers is given by the formula: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Sum of Remaining Numbers When we remove \( a \) and \( a + 1 \), the sum of the remaining numbers becomes: \[ S_{\text{remaining}} = S_n - (a + (a + 1)) = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} - (2a + 1) \] ### Step 4: Count the Remaining Numbers The total count of numbers remaining after removing two numbers is: \[ n - 2 \] ### Step 5: Set Up the Equation for Arithmetic Mean The arithmetic mean of the remaining numbers is given by: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{S_{\text{remaining}}}{n - 2} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ \frac{\frac{n(n + 1)}{2} - (2a + 1)}{n - 2} = \frac{105}{4} \] ### Step 6: Cross Multiply to Eliminate the Fraction Cross multiplying gives us: \[ 4\left(\frac{n(n + 1)}{2} - (2a + 1)\right) = 105(n - 2) \] This simplifies to: \[ 2n(n + 1) - 4(2a + 1) = 105n - 210 \] ### Step 7: Rearrange the Equation Rearranging the equation, we get: \[ 2n^2 + 2n - 105n + 210 - 8a - 4 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2n^2 - 103n + 206 - 8a = 0 \] ### Step 8: Solve for n in terms of a We can express \( n \) in terms of \( a \): \[ 2n^2 - 103n + (206 - 8a) = 0 \] Using the quadratic formula \( n = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \): \[ n = \frac{103 \pm \sqrt{(-103)^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot (206 - 8a)}}{2 \cdot 2} \] ### Step 9: Analyze the Discriminant The discriminant \( D \) must be a perfect square for \( n \) to be an integer: \[ D = 10609 - 16(206 - 8a) \] This must be a perfect square. ### Step 10: Find Suitable Values for a By testing integer values for \( a \) and checking if \( D \) is a perfect square, we find that \( a = 7 \) and \( a + 1 = 8 \) works. ### Conclusion The two consecutive numbers removed are \( 7 \) and \( 8 \). ---
