Between the numbers `2` and `20`, `8` means are inserted. Then their sum is

A

`88`

B

`44`

C

`176`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`(a)` `a,A_(1),A_(2),………A_(n)`, `b` are in `A.P.`
where `a=2`, `b=20`, `n=8`
`:.` Sum of the means `=(n)/(2)(a+b)=(8)/(2)(2+20)=88`
