A. 17 B. 18 C. 19 D. 20 Answer: Option BShow Answer
Solution(By Apex Team)
$\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{x}_1+\mathrm{x}_2+\mathrm{x}_3+\mathrm{x}_4=16\times4=64\\
\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\left(\mathrm{x}_2+\mathrm{x}_3+\mathrm{x}_4\right)=23\\
\Rightarrow\mathrm{x}_2+\mathrm{x}_3+\mathrm{x}_4=46\\
\therefore\mathrm{x}_1=64-46\\
\quad=18\end{array}$
