The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the logical flow of the reasoning presented in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Define the Problem We have `n` natural numbers: \(1, 2, 3, \ldots, n\). Two consecutive numbers, which we can denote as \(p\) and \(p + 1\), are removed from this set. The arithmetic mean of the remaining numbers is given as \(\frac{105}{4}\). ### 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 the Remaining Numbers After removing the two consecutive numbers \(p\) and \(p + 1\), the sum of the remaining numbers becomes: \[ S_{\text{remaining}} = S_n - (p + (p + 1)) = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} - (2p + 1) \] ### Step 4: Find the Number of Remaining Numbers The number of remaining numbers after removing 2 from \(n\) is: \[ n - 2 \] ### Step 5: Set Up the Equation for the Arithmetic Mean The arithmetic mean of the remaining numbers is given by: \[ \text{Arithmetic Mean} = \frac{S_{\text{remaining}}}{n - 2} \] Substituting the expressions we derived: \[ \frac{\frac{n(n + 1)}{2} - (2p + 1)}{n - 2} = \frac{105}{4} \] ### Step 6: Cross Multiply to Eliminate the Fraction Cross multiplying gives: \[ 4\left(\frac{n(n + 1)}{2} - (2p + 1)\right) = 105(n - 2) \] Simplifying this, we get: \[ 2n(n + 1) - 4(2p + 1) = 105n - 210 \] ### Step 7: Rearranging the Equation Rearranging the equation leads to: \[ 2n^2 + 2n - 105n + 210 - 8p - 4 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2n^2 - 103n - 8p + 206 = 0 \] ### Step 8: Analyze the Equation This is a quadratic equation in terms of \(n\). For \(n\) and \(p\) to be integers, we need to analyze the nature of the roots of this equation. ### Step 9: Substitute \(n = 2r\) Since \(n\) must be even for \(p\) to be an integer, let \(n = 2r\): \[ 2(2r)^2 - 103(2r) - 8p + 206 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 8r^2 - 206r - 8p + 206 = 0 \] ### Step 10: Solve for \(p\) Rearranging gives: \[ 8p = 8r^2 - 206r + 206 \] Thus, \[ p = r^2 - \frac{206}{8}r + \frac{206}{8} \] ### Step 11: Find Integer Solutions To ensure \(p\) is an integer, \(1 - r\) must be divisible by 4. Let \(1 - r = 4t\), leading to: \[ r = 1 + 4t \] Substituting back gives: \[ n = 2(1 + 4t) = 2 + 8t \] ### Step 12: Substitute Back to Find \(p\) Substituting \(r\) back into the equation for \(p\): \[ p = (1 + 4t)^2 - \frac{206}{8}(1 + 4t) + \frac{206}{8} \] ### Step 13: Calculate the GM of Removed Numbers The two removed numbers are \(p\) and \(p + 1\). The geometric mean (GM) is given by: \[ \text{GM} = \sqrt{p(p + 1)} \] Substituting \(p = 7\) (from solving the quadratic), we find: \[ \text{GM} = \sqrt{7 \cdot 8} = \sqrt{56} \] ### Final Answer The GM of the removed numbers is: \[ \sqrt{56} \]
