Correct answer: B

  1. Find the arithmetic progression xix_ixi​

Given x1=2x_1=2x1​=2 and x1,x2,…,x100x_1,x_2,\dots,x_{100}x1​,x2​,…,x100​ are in A.P. Let the common difference be ddd. Then xi=2+(i−1)d.x_i=2+(i-1)d.xi​=2+(i−1)d.

The mean of 100 terms of an A.P. is the average of first and last terms: x1+x1002=200.\frac{x_1+x_{100}}{2}=200.2x1​+x100​​=200. So, 2+x1002=200  ⟹  x100=398.\frac{2+x_{100}}{2}=200 \implies x_{100}=398.22+x100​​=200⟹x100​=398.

But x100=2+99d=398,x_{100}=2+99d=398,x100​=2+99d=398, therefore 99d=396  ⟹  d=4.99d=396 \implies d=4.99d=396⟹d=4.

Hence xi=2+4(i−1)=4i−2.x_i=2+4(i-1)=4i-2.xi​=2+4(i−1)=4i−2.


  1. Compute yiy_iyi​

Given yi=i(xi−i).y_i=i(x_i-i).yi​=i(xi​−i). Substitute xi=4i−2x_i=4i-2xi​=4i−2: yi=i((4i−2)−i)=i(3i−2)=3i2−2i.y_i=i\big((4i-2)-i\big)=i(3i-2)=3i^2-2i.yi​=i((4i−2)−i)=i(3i−2)=3i2−2i.

So the mean of y1,y2,…,y100y_1,y_2,\dots,y_{100}y1​,y2​,…,y100​ is 1100∑i=1100(3i2−2i).\frac{1}{100}\sum_{i=1}^{100}(3i^2-2i).1001​∑i=1100​(3i2−2i).


  1. Use summation formulas

We know ∑i=1100i=100⋅1012=5050,\sum_{i=1}^{100} i = \frac{100\cdot 101}{2}=5050,∑i=1100​i=2100⋅101​=5050, ∑i=1100i2=100⋅101⋅2016=338350.\sum_{i=1}^{100} i^2 = \frac{100\cdot 101\cdot 201}{6}=338350.∑i=1100​i2=6100⋅101⋅201​=338350.

Thus ∑i=1100(3i2−2i)=3∑i=1100i2−2∑i=1100i\sum_{i=1}^{100}(3i^2-2i)=3\sum_{i=1}^{100}i^2-2\sum_{i=1}^{100}i∑i=1100​(3i2−2i)=3∑i=1100​i2−2∑i=1100​i =3(338350)−2(5050)=3(338350)-2(5050)=3(338350)−2(5050) =1015050−10100=1004950.=1015050-10100=1004950.=1015050−10100=1004950.

Therefore the mean is 1004950100=10049.5.\frac{1004950}{100}=10049.5.1001004950​=10049.5.


  1. Match with options

10049.5=10049.5010049.5=10049.5010049.5=10049.50 So the correct option is B.


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: B

Our derived answer: B

They agree.
