Answer 1

what do u mean by median???

Answer 2

the middle value of a series of numbers arranged in order of siz

Answer 3

so it is impossible to find the largest term it can be even 45 or anything greater than 45

Answer 4

that what I thought too acctualy the unswer is 85 I didn't understand this explanation ;Median refers to the middle number in a set of observations. To find the required number divide the number of integers by 2 to find out how many integers are there after the median, then add that number to the median.<br>When 81 is divided by 2 the quotient is 40.<br>Largest number of the given set of numbers = 40 + 45<br> <span style='padding-left:255px;'>= 85</span>

Answer 5

no for this one you require all the numbers series then only you can tell exactly otherwise it should be greater than or equal to 45

Answer 6

yeah thats correct it should be 85 only in question it is given 81 consecutive integers it means that first term should be
45-40 = 5
and last term should be
45+40 = 85
so largest term is 85
