Concept-
The first five whole integers are provided in the question, and we must determine their arithmetic mean. The mean or average of a set of data that are in arithmetical progression is known as the arithmetic mean. The entire number begins at 0. The full numbers are therefore presented as 0, 1, and 2.
We will therefore determine the average of the numbers 0, 1, 2, and so on. to be specific, the first five complete digits.
The full numerals are now 0, 1, and 2...
The first five whole numbers are therefore 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Now, 1−0=2−1=3−2=4−3=1 .
This indicates that there is a 1 unit difference between each set of two terms.
Thus, we know that the common difference between the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the arithmetic progression is 1.
We are aware that the mathematical mean of

The sum of these numbers divided by the number of terms will now represent the arithmetic mean of these numbers.
The numbers add out to 0+1+2+3+4=10 in total. And there are five of these terms in total.
Let A represent the arithmetic mean of the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Thus, A's value will be

Hence, the correct answer is option 2) 2
