Let x be the mean of squares of first n natural numbers and y be the square of mean of first n natural numbers. If x y = 55 42 , then what is the value of n ?
Options
- A24
- B25
- C27
- D30
Correct answer
C. 27
Step-by-step solution
Mean of squares of first n natural number x= n(n+1)(2 n+1) 6 n = (n+1)(2 n+1) 6 Square of mean of first n natural numbers aligned & y= ( n(n+1) 2 n )^2= (n+1)^2 4 & x y = 2(2 n+1) 3(n+1) = 55 42 & 28(2 n+1)=55(n+1) n=27 aligned
