    I THINK IT SHOULD be sum total of 1,1, 20,20,20 and that is 62. Smallest Postive number is 01. As number values are odd so 20 has to be one of values. In order to minmise sum other two values can also be 20 and CAN NOT be less than 20 else median will change.

    I hope I ad made it clear to you and your querry has been answered.

    Sorry values will be 1,2,20,21 and 22 and sum total is 66 as numbers have to be different.
