    C 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    ATQ,

    Let smallest = x Then, 2nd number = x + 1 Largest = x + 25 Sum = 131 ATQ, x + (x + 1) + (x + 25) = 131 3x + 26 = 131 3x = 105 x = 35 Numbers: Smallest = 35 2nd = 36 Largest = 60 Hence, Required difference = 60 - 36 = 24
