Answer / rizwan
At 11.00 AM we have 2.25 inches rain on the ground.
If it rained 1.25 for evry two hour, it should be 3.75
inches for 6 hours (Between 11.00 AM to 5.00 PM)
So Totally at 5.00 PM. We have 2.25+3.75 =6.00 inches of
rain on the ground

Answer / kannan
7 to 11 =4 hours=2.25
11 to 3 =4 hours=2.25+2.50(1.25+1.25)=4.75
3 to 5 2 hrs = 4.75+1.25=6.00 inches

Answer / manikandan
7am to 11am the ground level 2.25
after every two hr increased by 1.25
i.e 11-1pm increased by 2.25+(1.25+2.25)
1-3pm inc.by 2.25+3.5+(1.25+3.5)
3-5 2.25+3.5+4.75+(1.25+4.75)
The Ans is 2.25+3.5+4.75+6=16.5

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
