Question:

The average of the first 7 non-zero multiples of 17 is:

Options:

67

68

69

66

Correct Answer:

68

Explanation:

Sum of A.P = \(\frac{n}{2}\) ( 2a + (n - 1)d )

Sum of 1st 7 multiples of 17 = \(\frac{7}{2}\) ( 2 x 17 + 6 x 17 )

                                          ⇒ 476

Average of 1st 7 multiples of 17 = \(\frac{476}{7}\) = 68
