    Question

    The average number of notebooks distributed among five

    students is 5. If each student received 1 notebook more than the student before him, then find the highest number of notebooks received by any student.
    A 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the notebooks received by 1st student be ‘x’
    According to the question,
    (x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4) = 5 × 5
    Or, 5x + 10 = 25
    Or, 5x = 15
    Or, x = 3
    Therefore, highest number of notebooks received by any student = (x + 4) = 7
