Hello Soha!!!  : )
Here Is The Answer:

Let The smallest number be y

ATQ,
y + ( y + 1 ) + ( y + 2 ) + ( y + 3 ) + ( y + 4 ) = 100
y + y + 1 + y + 2 + y + 3 + y + 4 = 100
y + y + y + y + y + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 100
5 y + 10 = 100
5 y = 100 - 10
5 y = 90
y = 90 / 5
y = 18

The Series That Follow Is:
18 , ( 18 + 1 ) , ( 18 + 2 ) , ( 18 + 3 ) , ( 18 + 4 )
18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22

The Smallest Number { y } Is 18

Hope It Helps You!!!
