The 19 consecutive even integers will form an arithmetic progression with common difference, $$d = 2$$
Let the first term be $$a$$
Average of 19 integers = 50, => Sum = $$19 \times 50 = 950$$
=> Sum of these integers = $$\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d] = 950$$
=> $$\frac{19}{2}[2a + (18 \times 2)] = 950$$
=> $$19(a+18)=950$$
=> $$(a+18)=\frac{950}{19}=50$$
=> $$a=50-18 = 32$$
$$\therefore$$ The highest integer or the 19th term, $$A_{19} = a + (19-1)d$$
= $$32 + (18 \times 2) = 32 + 36 = 68$$
