(C) Let the three numbers be $3x$,$4x$,and $5x$.According to the problem,the sum of the largest $(5x)$ and the smallest $(3x)$ is equal to the sum of the third $(4x)$ and $52$.So,the equation is: $5x + 3x = 4x + 52$.Simplifying the equation: $8x = 4x + 52$.Subtracting $4x$ from both sides: $4x = 52$.Dividing by $4$: $x = 13$.The smallest number is $3x = 3 	imes 13 = 39$.

Three numbers are in the ratio $3:4:5$. The sum of the largest and the smallest equals the sum of the third and $52$. The smallest number is
