Let, primarily, there were x number of boys

Now, number of apples picked up=3x

After arrival of 3 boys, total number of boys = (x+3)

After picking up 1 more apple, total apples = (3x+1)

According to question,

$\frac{(3 x + 1)}{x + 3} = 2 \Rightarrow 3 x + 1 = 2 x + 6 \Rightarrow 3 x - 2 x = 6 - 1 \Rightarrow x = 5 T h e y f i n a l l y d i v i d e d = 3 x + 1 = (3 \times 5) + 1 = 16 a p p l e s . a n s .$
