Correct Answer: 60


Solution : Let the third number be $x$; the first number, $3x$; and the second number, $\frac{3x}{4}$.
The average of the three numbers is 95.
According to the question,
$3x+\frac{3x}{4}+x=3×95$
$⇒\frac{12x+3x+4x}{4}=285$
$⇒19x=285×4$
$\therefore x=60$
Hence, the correct answer is 60.
