    farmers is 12. If each farmer received 1 mango more than the farmer before him, then find the highest number of mangoes received by any farmer.
    A 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the mangoes received by 1st farmer be ‘x’
    According to the question,
    (x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4) = 12 × 5
    Or, 5x + 10 = 60
    Or, 5x = 50
    Or, x = 10
    Therefore, highest number of mangoes received by any farmer = (x + 4) = 14
