Q57 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (28 Jul Shift 1) · Mathematics

Let x1,x2,x3,…..,x20 be in geometric progression with x1=3 and the common ration 12. A new data is constructed replacing each xi by xi-i2. If x is the mean of new data, then the greatest integer less than or equal to x is

Correct answer: 142

Solution

Given,

x1,x2,x3,…..,x20 are in G.P with common difference 12 and first term as 3

Now using the formula for sum of G.P we get,

∑i=120xi=31-12201-12=61-1220

Now new sum of G.P with new data will be=∑i=120xi-i2

=∑i=120xi2+i2-2xii

Now ∑i=120xi2=91-14201-14=121-1240

And ∑i=120i2=16×20×21×41=2870

And ∑i=120xii=3+2.312+3.3122+4.3123+…….AGP

=64-11218

So, mean of the new data will be,

 x=12-12240+2870-64-1121820

⇒x=285820+-12240+66218×120

Now ⇒x=142.4+0.00001=142

Hence, the correct answer is 142.
