Answer:
It is given that Mean of 5 observations is 15.
∴ The sum of observations =15×5=75.
∴ It is given that mean of the first 3 observations is 14.
∴ The sum of first three observations =14×3=42.
⇒ Given that mean of the last 3 observations is 17.
∴ The sum of the last three observations =17×3=51
∴ The third observation =(42+51)−75
=93−75
=18
