उत्तर

81

Explanation:

Mean of three numbers = 40 and lowest number = 19  ...[Given]

Let the three observations be 19, x and y, respectively.

∴ Mean = `"Sum of all observations"/"Total number of observations"`

⇒ `40 = (19 + x + y)/3`  ...[∵ Mean = 40, given]

⇒ 3 × 40 = 19 + x + y

⇒ 120 = 19 + x + y

⇒ x + y = 120 – 19

⇒ x + y = 101  ...(i)

Since, 19 is the lowest observation.

Hence, for the highest possible value of the remaining two numbers, one must be 20.

Let x = 20

From equation (i), we get

20 + y = 101

⇒ y = 101 – 20

⇒ y = 81
