    D 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the apples received by 1st farmer be β€˜x’
    According to the question,
    (x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4) = 11 Γ— 5
    Or, 5x + 10 = 55
    Or, 5x = 45
    Or, x = 9
    Therefore, highest number of apples received by any farmer = (x + 4) = 13
