550, 620, 589, 100, 560, 50, 100
Which of the following numbers is lower than the median but greater than the mean of the set of the numbers in the list?	Choose the correct option:
A) 200 B) 310 C) 480 D) 550 E) 570
Yes, it can be solved with observation even without approximation in 30 sec.   Just observe given numbers: 50,100 ,100,550, 560, 580,620,   Median is very easy to tell - its 550. Now we want a number lower than 550 and greater than mean. How many numbers are lower than 550? DE are already out.   Now, we have 200, 310 and 480 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 480. (Notice, if 200 is more than mean then 480 is also. If 31 is more than mean, 480 is also. )   Hence 480 it is!
