Answer:14

Explanation:

Given

There are total 70 cards out of which 15 is piled at center and remaining is distributed among 4

i.e. 55 cards divided among 4 members

so each will receive 13 cards and there will be 3 cards left along with 15 cards at center.

Remaining 3 cards can be given to any of three friend

So greatest number of cards any player can have is 14 .
