      The average number of laddus distributed among five

      children is 14. If each child received 1 laddu more than the child before, then find the highest number of laddus received by any child.
      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 ‘x’
      According to the question,
      (x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4) = 14 × 5
      Or, 5x + 10 = 70
      Or, 5x = 60
      Or, x = 12
      Therefore, highest number of laddus received by any child = (x + 4) = 16
