Q.If the average of the first ten natural numbers is A and the median is M, then the relationship between A and M is — (a) \(A\gt M\) (b) \(A\lt M\) (c) \(A=\cfrac{1}{M}\) (d) \(A=M\)
Answer: D
The average of the first ten natural numbers is \[ A = \frac{1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10}{10} = \frac{55}{10} = 5.5 \] And the median is \[ M = \frac{5 + 6}{2} = \frac{11}{2} = 5.5 \] ∴ Clearly, the relationship is \[ A = M \]
