Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Average of three number $ =135 $

$ \therefore $ Sum of three numbers $ =3\times 135=405 $ Let the remaining number be $ x $ and $ x+20 $ Then, $ 195+x+(x+20)=405 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 2x+215=405 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 2x=190 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=95 $

$ \therefore $ Smallest number $ =x=95 $
