Detailed Solution

 The atomic mass of calcium and strontium is 40 and  87.62

 Let us consider x as the third element.

 According to Dobereiner's triads rule-

40+x2=87.62

40+x=87.62×2

x=175.24-40

x=135.24 u

The value of x is approximately equal to the atomic mass of Barium.

Hence, we can say that the third element of this triad is 'Barium'.
