            This problem is strange and posed incorrectly. 


The answer depends on the value of x.


For example, for x = 1000,  m = 

    (1000-6) + (1000-5) + . . . + 1000 + . . . + (1000+5) + (1000+6) = 13000,


which value is totally different from listed in the option list.

Resume: the problem/question is absurdist and the problem is posed incorrectly.
