Correct Answer: 80
Solution :
Given: The sum of three consecutive natural numbers, each divisible by 5, is 225.
Let the numbers be $5x, 5x + 5, 5x + 10$.
So, $5x + 5x + 5 + 5x + 10 = 225$
⇒ $15x + 15 = 225$
⇒ $15x = 210$
$\therefore x = 14$
Largest number $= (5x+10) = 70 + 10 = 80$
Hence, the correct answer is 80.
