Mean = 22  , Median = 20 if x = 50  ,  Median = 15 , Mean = 17  if x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of 5,25,8,x, 34,12,20 is 2 more than their median

5 , 8  , 12  , 20  , 25  ,  34 , x

There are total  7  numbers

so 4th number would be median

4th number can be  20  if x > 20

4th number can be x    if 12  <  x < 20

or 4th number can be 12  if x < 12

Mean =  (5 + 8 + 12 + 20 + 25 + 34 + x)/7

= (104 + x)/7

Case 1 x < 12 => Median = 12

Mean should be 14

=> 14 =  (104 + x)/7

=> 98 = 104 + x

=> x = - 6

Neglecting -ve values

x > 20  Median = 20

Mean = 22

22 = (104 + x)/7

=> 154 = 104 + x

=> x = 50

Mean = 22  , Median = 20

12  <  x < 20

Median = x

Mean = x + 2

x + 2 = ( 104 + x)/7

=> 7x + 14 = 104 + x

=> 6x = 90

=> x = 15

x lies between 12 & 20

Median = 15

Mean = 17
