Question: Average of n number is a. The first number is increased by 2, second one is increased by 4, the third one is increased by 8 and so on. The average of the new numbers is
Options:
A) $ a+\frac{{2^{n-1}}}{n} $
B) $ a+2\frac{2^{n}-1}{n} $
C) $ a+\frac{2^{n}-1}{n} $
D) $ a+\frac{{2^{n-1}}-1}{n} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- [b] New average $ =\frac{na+2+4+8+16+….+2^{n}}{n} $
$ =,\frac{na+2( \frac{2^{n}-1}{2-1} )}{n}=a+2\cdot \frac{2^{n}-1}{n} $
