The arithmetic mean of numbers a, b , c , d , e is M . What is the value of (a-M)+(b-M)+(c-M)+( d - M )+( e - M ) ?
Options
- AM
- Ba+b+c+d+e
- C0
- D5 M
Correct answer
C. 0
Step-by-step solution
Given M = a + b + c + d + e 5 a+b+c+d+e=5 M a+b+c+d+e-5 m=0 array l (a-M)+(b-M)+(c-M)+(d-M) +(e-M)=0 array Hence, required value =0
