Solution

The correct option is C 50
Let p,p+1 be the removed numbers from 1,2,3,...n then
sum of the remaining numbers =n(n+1)2(2p+1)
1054=n(n+1)2(2p+1)
On evaluation we get 2n2103n8p+206=0
Since n and p are integers so n must be even.
Let n=2r, we get p=4r2+(103)(1r)4
Since p is an integer so (1r) must be divisible by 4.
Let r=1+4t we get n=2+8t and p=16t295t+1
Now 1p<n
116t295t+1<8t+2
On solving the equation16t295t+1<8t+2
16t2103t1<0
Using the formula b±b24ac2a, we get
t=6.18 or 0.25
As t is an integer we take t=6
From above, n=2+8t=2+8×7=2+48=50
n=50
