54, 61, 57, 9, 55, 4, 9.
Which of the following numbers is lower than the median but greater than the mean of the set of the numbers in the list?	Pick.
A) 19
B) 30
C) 47
D) 54
E) 56
Yes, it can be solved with observation even without approximation in 30 sec.   Just observe given numbers: 4,9, 9, 54, 55, 57,61,   Median is very easy to tell - its 55. Now we want a number lower than 54 and greater than mean. How many numbers are lower than 54? DE are already out.   Now, we have 19, 30 and 47 and we want a number among these which is greater than mean. logically whatever be the mean, if one value out of these 5 has to be greater than mean it has to be 47. (Notice, if 19 is more than mean then 47 is also. If 30 is more than mean, 47 is also. )   Hence 47 it is!
