2+9*2=20
(2+20)/2*10=110
A=110/10=11
m=(10+12)/2=11

Assuming the series to be 2,4,6,8,.....,20

Sum = 10/2(2*2 + 2(10-1)) = 110 [Using AP formula]
Mean = Sum/n = 110/10 = 11

Median = (10+12)/2 = 11

A-m =0

no need to calculate mean and median as if we know that it is an A.P then the mean and median will be equal always
so the answer must be 0 which is option C

The first 10 positive multiples of 2 are - \({ 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 , 12 , 14 , 16 , 18 , 20 }\)

Thus median (m) will be \(\frac{10 + 12}{2}\) = \(11\)

Average (A) of the first 10 positive multiples of 2 will be = \(11\)

So, A - m = 11 - 11

Thus, answer must be (C) 0
