18. Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 9 + X + Y -

Z Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9) Alok would like to 

maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single 

digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then 

chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes 

the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value 

of N at the end of the game would be.

a) 0 

b) 27

c) 18

d) 20

The Q's concept is same but the equation of N's is changing.


19. Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above 

the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to 

bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in 

the stack.Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top 

to a position i below the top coin (0 = i = 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move 

implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a 

player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold 

coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the 

gold coins the third coin from the top. Then

a) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move.

b) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 0-move.

c) In order to win, Alice's first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move.

d) Alice has no winning strategy.

Ans: d


20. For the FIFA world cup, Paul the octopus has been predicting the winner of each match 

with amazing success. It is rumored that in a match between 2 teams A and B, Paul picks A

that in a match between Ghana and Bolivia, Ghana the stronger team has a probability of 2/3 

of winning the game. What is the probability that Paul will correctly pick the winner of the 

Ghana-Bolivia game?

a)1/9 

b)4/9
