v, w, x, y, and z are five positive integers for which v ≤ w ≤ x ≤ y ≤ z. If the average (arithmetic mean) of the five numbers is 30 and their median is 25, what is the smallest possible value of z ?

• The Smallest value of z will be 50.
  Since, v ≤ w ≤ x ≤ y ≤ z, x = Median = 25.
  If v=w=x=y=25, x=50.

• The smallest value of z is 50.
  Since, v ≤ w ≤ x ≤ y ≤ z, x=Median =25, then, v=w=x=y=25
  Therefore z=50.
