Correct Answer: 95
Solution : Given: The average of 3 numbers is 135. The largest number is 195. The difference between the other two is 20. Let x be the smallest number. So, (x + 20) would be the second number. According to the question, 195 + x + x + 20 = 135 × 3 ⇒ 2x + 215 = 405 ⇒ 2x = 405 – 215 = 190 ∴ x = $\frac{190}{2}$ = 95 So, the smallest number is 95. Hence, the correct answer is 95.
