The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the sum of two consecutive natural numbers removed from the first n natural numbers, given that the arithmetic mean of the remaining numbers is \( \frac{105}{4} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: We have the first \( n \) natural numbers: \( 1, 2, 3, \ldots, n \). We remove two consecutive numbers \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) (where \( x_2 = x_1 + 1 \)). We need to find \( x_1 + x_2 + n \). 2. **Sum of First n Natural Numbers**: The sum of the first \( n \) natural numbers is given by: \[ S_n = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} \] 3. **Sum of the Removed Numbers**: If we remove \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \), the sum of the remaining numbers becomes: \[ S_{\text{remaining}} = S_n - (x_1 + x_2) = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} - (x_1 + (x_1 + 1)) = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} - (2x_1 + 1) \] 4. **Number of Remaining Terms**: After removing two numbers, the count of remaining numbers is \( n - 2 \). 5. **Arithmetic Mean of Remaining Numbers**: The arithmetic mean of the remaining numbers is given as: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{S_{\text{remaining}}}{n - 2} = \frac{\frac{n(n + 1)}{2} - (2x_1 + 1)}{n - 2} \] Setting this equal to \( \frac{105}{4} \): \[ \frac{\frac{n(n + 1)}{2} - (2x_1 + 1)}{n - 2} = \frac{105}{4} \] 6. **Cross-Multiplying**: Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 4\left(\frac{n(n + 1)}{2} - (2x_1 + 1)\right) = 105(n - 2) \] Simplifying: \[ 2n(n + 1) - 8x_1 - 4 = 105n - 210 \] Rearranging: \[ 2n^2 + 2n - 105n + 206 - 8x_1 = 0 \] Which simplifies to: \[ 2n^2 - 103n + 206 - 8x_1 = 0 \] 7. **Finding Integer Solutions**: For \( n \) to be an integer, the discriminant of the quadratic must be a perfect square: \[ D = (-103)^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot (206 - 8x_1) \] This must yield a perfect square. 8. **Assuming n is Even**: Let \( n = 2r \). Substituting \( n \) into the equation: \[ 8r^2 - 206r + 206 - 8x_1 = 0 \] Solving for \( x_1 \): \[ 8x_1 = 8r^2 - 206r + 206 \] \[ x_1 = r^2 - \frac{206}{8}r + \frac{206}{8} \] 9. **Finding Values**: We can find integer values for \( r \) that satisfy the conditions. After testing values, we find \( n = 50 \) and \( x_1 = 7 \). 10. **Final Calculation**: Thus, \( x_1 + x_2 + n = 7 + 8 + 50 = 65 \). ### Final Answer: \[ x_1 + x_2 + n = 65 \]
