Let Q=3, implying that there are 3 consecutive integers.
Since the median is 120, the 3 integers are {119, 120, 121}.
The question stem asks for the largest integer: 121.
This is our target.
Now plug Q=3 into the answers to see which yields our target of 121.
Only (Q-1)/2 + 120 :
(Q-1)/2 + 120 = (3-1)/2 + 120 = 121.
The correct answer is
(Q-1)/2 + 120
