SOLUTION

The average (arithmetic mean) of the integers from 200 to 400, inclusive, is how much greater than the average of the integers from 50 to 100, inclusive?

(A) 150
(B) 175
(C) 200
(D) 225
(E) 300

The average of the integers from 200 to 400, inclusive is $$\frac{first+last}{2}=\frac{200+400}{2}=300$$;
The average of the integers from 50 to 100, inclusive is $$\frac{first+last}{2}=\frac{50+100}{2}=75$$;

The difference is $$300-75=225$$.

Hi,

This is an easy one (Difficulty level: 600, depending on your approach)

My approach is:
For an AP the mean or average of series is average of first and last term.
So, average of numbers between 200 to 400, inclusive = (200+400)/2 = 300
average of numbers between 50 to 100, inclusive = (50+100)/2 = 75
difference = 300 - 75
= 225

200+400/2 = 300
100+50/2 = 75

300 -75 = 225

Quite easy if you know that F+L/2 is average. To me its below 600.

Solution: First+ Last/2= Average

1. 200+400/2= 300
2. 50+150/2=75

The mean of the set is equal to the average of the FIRST and LAST.

(400+200) / 2 = 300

and

(100+50) / 2 = 75

and

300-75 = 225

Here is my solution to this one =>
Mean(1)=200+400/2 = 300
Mean(2)=50+100/2 = 75

Hence Mean (1) is 225 Greater than Mean 2

Hence D

X = Mean1 - Mean2
=>X=[(400+200)-(100+50)]/2 [Since, Mean=average of First & Last numbers in a set]
=>X=450/2
=>X=225 (D)

Since we have an evenly spaced set of integers, the average of the integers from 200 to 400, inclusive, is (200 + 400)/2 = 300.

Similarly, the average of the integers from 50 to 100, inclusive, is (50 + 100)/2 = 75.

Thus, the difference is 300 - 75 = 225.
