      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
