Answer:

61

Step-by-step explanation:

If the average of 3 different positive integers, a, b and c, is 50 then:

[tex]\implies \dfrac{a+b+c}{3}=50[/tex]

If b = 30:

[tex]\implies \dfrac{a+30+c}{3}=50[/tex]

[tex]\implies a+30+c=150[/tex]

[tex]\implies a+c=120[/tex]

If a < b < c then the least possible value of c is one more than the average of a + c.

Average of a + c:

[tex]\implies \dfrac{a+c}{2}=\dfrac{120}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \dfrac{a+c}{2}=60[/tex]

So the least possible value of c is 60 + 1 = 61.
