I think the definition of median is middle number. You can conclusively say 7 of both I and II are provided

While posting solutions,Everyone has assumed this series to be an evenly spaced series or set. However, this is not mentioned in the question stem. Does this conclusively apply to gmat questions too ? Please suggest !

If a,b, and c are positive integers with at least one of the three equal to 7, is the median of the set {a,b,c} greater than 7?
(1) a<7
(2) c>7

New question


One simple way to go ahead with this problem would be :

To prove that the median of set{a,b,c} is greater than 7, when given that one of the number is equal to 7, we need 2 numbers to be greater than 7.

Statement 1 says exactly the same thing. It says that there is one number that is less than 7 and the other equal to 7. So whatever may be the value of the third variable, the median is never going to exceed 7.

Hope this helps!
