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,

3x+1x+3=23x+1=2x+63x-2x=6-1x=5They finally divided=3x+1=(3×5) + 1 = 16 apples. ans.
