The mean of three numbers is 40. All the three numbers are different natural numbers. If lowest is 19, what could be highest possible number of remaining two numbers?
A. 81
B. 40
C. 100
D. 71
Answer :
Let the three numbers be a, b and c.
According to the problem, a = 19
And
Or
Which gives 19+b+c = 120
So b+c = 101
Consider b = 100, which gives c = 1 which is not possible because the lowest number allowed is 19.
Consider b = 40 which gives c = 61
Consider b = 71, which gives c = 30
Consider b = 81, which gives c = 20
Among these b = 81 is the highest number.
Therefore, the correct answer is 81.
