Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the
expression
N = 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
Answer Posted / vishnu
alok says first number as 5 ,then bhanu substitutes it for y (say)..then the value will be x-5-z
then wat ever alok says it will be substituted in x or z ...if he says <5 then any number he says next will be negative answer only ...so he says <5 then also the same thing happens ...so finally the negative answer in the options will be the answer and there will be only one negative answer in the options (that is the twist in the problem):)
