- Let's denote the second number as $ x $.

- The first number is four times the second number, so it is $ 4x $.

- The average of these two numbers is given as 65.

$$ \frac{x + 4x}{2} = 65 $$

- Simplifying, we get:

$$ \frac{5x}{2} = 65 $$

- Multiply both sides by 2:

$$ 5x = 130 $$

- Divide by 5:

$$ x = 26 $$

- The second number is 26.

- Option 1: 26 is the correct choice.
