Question : The average of three numbers is 135. The largest number is 195 and the difference between the other two is 20. The smallest number is:
Option 1: 65
Option 2: 95
Option 3: 105
Option 4: 115
Correct Answer: 95
Solution :
Given:
The average of the three numbers is 135.
The largest number is 195.
According to the question,
Let the smallest number be x then the other number will be (x + 20).
The sum of number = 135 × 3 = 405
Now,
195 + x + x + 20 = 405
⇒ 2x + 215 = 405
⇒ 2x = 405 - 215 = 190
∴ x = $\frac{190}{2}$ = 95
Hence the answer is 95.
