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.
