    C 13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

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