Correct Answer: 108
Solution : Let the second number be $x$ and the first three times of the second number be 3$x$ Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of the numbers}}{\text{Number of numbers}}$ ⇒ 72 = $\frac{x + 3x}{2}$ = $\frac{4x}{2}$ = 2$x$ = 36 First number = 3$x$ = 3 × 36 = 108 Hence, the correct answer is 108.
