The series is 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,25,25
So the mean is 81/9=9

[quote="armaan700+"]The median value of a set of 9 positive integers is 6. If the only mode in the distrubution is 25 what is the least possible mean of the distribution.[/quote]

Based on the data the set could be
a. 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,25
b. 1,3,4,5,6,11,15,18,25
c. 1,2,4,5,6,25,25,25,25

Are you sure the question complete ? What is the source ?

For the least possible mean of the distribution, only option (a) of yours would do, but you will have to correct it first; like 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 25, 25. Hence the least possible mean of the distribution is [spoiler]9[/spoiler]. All correct thephoenix.
