      E 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the candies received by 1st child be β€˜x’
      According to the question,
      (x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4) = 6 Γ— 5
      Or, 5x + 10 = 30
      Or, 5x = 20
      Or, x = 4
      Therefore, highest number of candies received by any child = (x + 4) = 8
