5. A, B, C, and D four people put up the same amount of money, to partner in buying ducks. A, B, and C each got 3, 7, and 14 more items of goods than D. At the final settlement, B paid
(A) $2 x ;$
(b) 56
(C) 70
(D) 12
5. C (Hint: Since $(3+7+14) \div 4=$ 6 (items), that is, Yi only has 1 more item of goods than the average, which means each item costs 14 yuan, and Bing has $14-6=8$ (items). But Jia is short of $6-3=3$ (items), and Yi has already paid 1 item's worth of money to Ding, so, Bing should pay Jia 3 items' worth of money, and pay Ding 5 items' worth of money, which is $5 \times 14=70$ (yuan))
