Hello,
For the following:
What is the median of positive integers x, y, and z if their average is 120.
(1) x = 100
(2) y = 120
OA: B
1) x = 100. In-suff.
2) y = 100. Now what if the order of the integers are y, x and z. In-this case 2 is in-sufficient.
I am thinking that the question is implicitly saying that x, y and z are in ascending/descending order. Is it correct to make such an assumption if nothing to the contrary is stated in the question?
Thanks,
Sri
