NO. THEORY

JHON AND HIS FRIENDS WERE TO DIVIDE TWO DOZENS OF ORANGES. IS THE NO. OF ORANGES OBTAINED BY THE JHON, IS ONE OF THE TWO LARGEST?

A: JHON OBTAINED 6 MORE ORANGES THAN THE PERSON WHO OBTAINED THE LEAST NO, OF ORANGES
B: ONE OF HIS FRIEND GET TWICE AS MANY AS THE AVERAGE, AND JHON GETS ONE MORE THAN THE AVERAGE.

HELP HELP: IN THESE TYPES OF QUESTIONS CAN WE ASSUME THAT ONE OF THE PERSON DID NOT GET EVEN A SINGLE ORANGE. EG: ONE OF JHON FRIENDS IS RECEIVING ZERO ( 0 ) ORANGES.

I don't think you can assume that unless otherwise stated. This problem doesn't mention how many people there are among whom the oranges are to be divided. It would be hard to even work it out by trial and error
