    A 17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the laddus received by 1st child be тАШxтАЩ
    According to the question,
    (x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4) = 14 ├Ч 5
    Or, 5x + 10 = 70
    Or, 5x = 60
    Or, x = 12
    Therefore, highest number of laddus received by any child = (x + 4) = 16
