The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the sum of all numbers from 1 to n after removing two consecutive numbers, given that the arithmetic mean of the remaining numbers is \( \frac{105}{4} \). ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We are given that two consecutive numbers \( a \) and \( a+1 \) are removed from the set \( \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, n\} \). We need to find the sum of all numbers from 1 to n. ### Step 2: Calculate the Sum of All 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 After Removing Two Numbers When we remove the two consecutive numbers \( a \) and \( a+1 \), the sum of the remaining numbers becomes: \[ S' = S_n - (a + (a + 1)) = S_n - (2a + 1) \] Substituting \( S_n \): \[ S' = \frac{n(n+1)}{2} - (2a + 1) \] ### Step 4: Find the Number of Remaining Elements After removing two numbers, the number of remaining elements is: \[ n - 2 \] ### Step 5: Set Up the Equation for Arithmetic Mean The arithmetic mean of the remaining numbers is given by: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{S'}{n - 2} \] Setting this equal to \( \frac{105}{4} \): \[ \frac{\frac{n(n+1)}{2} - (2a + 1)}{n - 2} = \frac{105}{4} \] ### Step 6: Cross Multiply to Eliminate the Fraction Cross multiplying gives: \[ 4 \left( \frac{n(n+1)}{2} - (2a + 1) \right) = 105(n - 2) \] This simplifies to: \[ 2n(n+1) - 4(2a + 1) = 105n - 210 \] ### Step 7: Rearranging the Equation Rearranging the equation yields: \[ 2n^2 + 2n - 105n + 210 - 8a - 4 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2n^2 - 103n + 206 - 8a = 0 \] ### Step 8: Solve for n in Terms of a Rearranging gives: \[ 2n^2 - 103n + (206 - 8a) = 0 \] 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: Determine Conditions for n Since \( n \) must be a positive integer, we can analyze the discriminant \( b^2 - 4ac \) to ensure it is a perfect square. ### Step 10: Find Values of a and n After testing integer values for \( a \) and ensuring \( n \) is even, we can find suitable pairs. ### Step 11: Calculate the Final Sum Once we have \( n \), we can calculate the sum: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \] For \( n = 50 \): \[ S_n = \frac{50 \cdot 51}{2} = 1275 \] ### Final Answer The sum of all numbers from 1 to \( n \) is \( 1275 \). ---
