shouldn't 1.D be 1998 for the average? The set is increasing by 4 thus we have this:
4*999=3996/2=1998
It's not in the set but you are looking for the average off an odd # based on an even set therefore you should get an odd # (2 in this case being odd).
4*1000=4000/2=2000
B and C should be 999
2*999=1998/2=999
(1+2)+(2*998)/2=999 (because you are still using 2*999, however you need are starting at 1 and going up with odd #'s. The way you have 998 and not 999*2 is because the 1+2 counts as the 999th #.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
