Correct answer
B126
Step-by-step explanation
$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{1}{25}, \mathrm{~T}_{25}=\frac{1}{20}, 20 \sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{25} \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{r}}=13 \\
& \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{a}+(\mathrm{m}-1) \mathrm{d}=\frac{1}{25} \ldots \ldots .(1) \\
& \mathrm{T}_{25}=\mathrm{a}+24 \mathrm{~d}=\frac{1}{20} \\
& 20 \cdot \frac{25}{2}\left[\mathrm{a}+\frac{1}{20}\right]=13 \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}=\frac{1}{500}
\end{aligned}$
