Ifnarithmetic means are inserted between a and100such that the ratio of the first mean to the last mean is1:7anda+n=33, then the value ofnis

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Let the A.P. be a, A1, A2...An, 100

Here, common difference, d=100-an+1

Given A1An=17a+d100-d=17   ...i

Also a+n=33

From options, when n=23a=10 and d=9024=154

from i 10+154100-154=55385=17
