Correct Answer: 135


Solution : The average of 4 numbers is 45.
Total = 4 × 45 = 180
Let the average of the first two numbers be $x$ and the average of the other two numbers $3x$.
According to the question,
$2x+(3x)×2=180$
$⇒8x=180$
$\therefore x = 22.5$
So, the sum of the first two numbers = $6×22.5=135$
Hence, the correct answer is 135.
