The average of first 60 natural numbers?
Question 1Answer

a.
31.5

b.
30

c.
30.5

d.
31

The average of the first \( n \) natural numbers can be calculated using the formula:

\[
\text{Average} = \frac{\text{Sum of first } n \text{ natural numbers}}{n}
\]

The sum of the first \( n \) natural numbers is given by:

\[
\text{Sum} = \frac{n \times (n + 1)}{2}
\]

For \( n = 60 \):

\[
\text{Sum} = \frac{60 \times 61}{2} = 1830
\]

So, the average is:

\[
\text{Average} = \frac{1830}{60} = 30.5
\]

Thus, the correct answer is:

**c. 30.5**
