Required 5 numbers

Mode of 5 numbers is 8.

Mode is most repeated in the given numbers.

Median of 5 numbers is 10.

Median is middle most number in order of  series.

Mean of 5 numbers is 12

Mean is average of 5 numbers.

I assume if the number 8 is repeated three times.

The required numbers series is be 8,8,10,x,8 and now we find out for fifth number say x.

Mean = Sum of observations/number of observations

12 = (8+8+10+x+8)/5

12 = 34+x/5

60 = 34+x

Subtract 34 from each side.

60-34 = 34-34+x

26 = x

Required numbers are 8,8,10,26,8.

If the the number 8 is repeated two times, We can't find the numbers exactly.
