The set will look like this :
15 16 17 18 19 21 _ _ _ 35
Ans (D)

The median is 20 so sum of 5th and 6th number will be 40.. possible combinations are 19/21, 18/22 and so on...
Since we are asked for the greatest possible number, the lowest number in the set should be as high as possible (greatest number= lowest +20) so we will select 19/21 combination
