Assuming the two numbers are positive integers, the two numbers must be 10 and 7:

10 + 7 = 17

10 - 7 = 3

Can the median in a set of data be the greatest number?

Only if all values in the dataset are equal. Otherwise, it is impossible. If there are two numbers in the dataset, the median is the average of these two numbers. If there are three numbers, then the second number is the median or one number away from the maximum.

How do you find How many numbers are there between 200 and 300 in which 9 occurs only once?

There are three digits. The numbers are between 200 and 300 so a 9 cannot occur in the first digit. So there are three possibilities: A: it appears ONLY in the second digit, B: it appears in the second AND third digits C: it appears only in the third digit. You want to know the number of occurances of A and C but not B. A: These are numbers of the form 29x where x can be any number other than 9 (in that case it would be type B). So there are 9 possible values of x in A. C: These are numbers of the form 2y9 where y can be any number other than 9 (in that case it would be type B). So there are 9 possible values of y in C. Incidentally, although you don't need it, B: There is only one number, and that is 299. So there is 1 possible values in B. So, number of type A + number of type B = 9 + 9 = 18.
