Correct Answer: 36
Solution : Given: The average of 11 numbers is 36. ⇒ Total of 11 numbers = 36 × 11 = 396 The average of 9 of them is 34. ⇒ Total of 9 numbers = 34 × 9 = 306 $\therefore$ Total of the remaining two numbers = (396 – 306) = 90 The remaining two numbers are in the ratio of 2 : 3. Therefore, the smaller number = $\frac{2}{2+3}×90$ = 36 Hence, the correct answer is 36.
