if mode=70 and mean=100 find median ?
We aren't told how many numbers there are.

The simplest case is when there are only 3 numbers.

70, 70, 160

Then: 

mean = (70+70+160)/3 = 300/3 = 100
mode = 70  (because there are more 70's than anything else.
median = 70  (the middle number because there are an odd number of numbers)

But there could be many many other cases.
