Breaking Down the Info:
Since the range was 2, and 5 is definitely one of the scores, our smallest score would be 3.
The sum of all the score is \(4.75*20 = (5 - 0.25)*20 = 100 - 5 = 95\).
If we had all 3's, the total score would only be 60. We would need to "distribute" the rest of the 35. We can give 34 = 2*17 = 17 increments of 2's away to have 17 of 5's.

(3x + 4y + 5z)/20 = 4.75
3x + 4y + 5z = 95 --- (1)
x + y + z = 20
3x + 3y + 3z = 60 --- (2)
From (1) and (2)
y + 2z = 35
z = (35 - y)/2
For z to be an integer, y needs to be 1, which makes z = 17
IMO: B
