50 can not be the highest number.

for the range to be 25, (50 - least number) = 25, i.e least number is 25
But it's given that 25 is median and since each number is different, there must be 7 smaller numbers than 25

Thanks. Realized that each number is different only when i read your post. O/w was taking all the lowest as 25.
