Question

$10$ apples need to be distributed among $4$ friends. Is it possible to distribute those evenly without cutting an apple?

• A. Yes, it is possible.
• B. No, it is not possible.
• C. Cannot be determined.

Answer 1

The correct option is B No, it is not possible.

$10$ apples can not be distributed among $4$ friends evenly without cutting any apple.

Let's take an example.

Suppose we distribute those apples in the following order.

If $2$ apples are given to each friend, then $2$ apples will be left out.

Similarly, other distributing patterns are also not possible.
