      The average number of toffees distributed among five

      boys is 8. If each boy received 1 toffee more than the boy before him, then find the highest number of toffees received by any boy.
      A 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the toffees received by 1st boy be ‘x’
      According to the question,
      (x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4) = 8 × 5
      Or, 5x + 10 = 40
      Or, 5x = 30
      Or, x = 6
      Therefore, highest number of toffees received by any boy = (x + 4) = 10
