    Question

    The average number of apples distributed among five

    farmers is 11. If each farmer received 1 apple more than the previous one, then find the highest number of apples received by any farmer.
    A 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

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