In following types of questions:
Four friends shared 20 apples among them, with no two receiving same number of apples.
for the purpose of GMAT, is it alright to assume that one of them can receive zero apples, or shall I assume that since they are sharing, each will get atleat one apple?
Thanks

An official GMAT question will never leave this issue ambiguous. Is this an official GMAT question? If it is then I would like to see the entire question.
For example, here is an official GMAT question from the current Official Guide 2015:
Problem Solving # 64: A certain fruit stand sold apples for $0.70 each and bananas for $0.50 each. If a customer purchased both apples and bananas from the stand for a total of $6.30, what total number of apples and bananas did
the customer purchase?
Note how they say that a customer purchased both apples and bananas, because if they didn't do that then we have the possibility that the customer bought 9 apples for $0.70 each and no bananas which also totals to $6.30. In general, GMAT test writers are very good about eliminating ambiguity. It is for this reason that the quant section has nine experimental questions to flush out these kinds of issues.
Cheers,
