Ques:- Four sisters- Suvarna, Tara, Uma and Vibha are playing a game such that the loser doubles the money of each of the other players from her share.

Recent Answer : Added by Vinay K On 2022-09-24 14:33:35:

Let Suvarna, Tara, Uma and Vibha be S,T,U,V respectively
initially in the beginning each persons share be
V = x U = y T = z
S = w = (x+y+z+32) Reason: She has to double others share, so she should have each and everyone’s share and still should be left out with 32

after 1st Round of game
S loses and is out with 32 and doubles the others share
V = 2x U = 2y T = 2z

After 2nd Round of game
T loses and is out with 32 and doubles the others share
V = 4x U = 4y
This means T had 2z = 2x + 2y + 32
After 3rd round of game
U looses and is out with 32 and doubles others share
V = 8x
This means U initially has 4y = 4x + 32
In the end V = 8x = 32

Solving this we get x = 4, y = 12, z = 32 and w = 80
There fore Suvarna had highest share in the beginning

Ques:- A football team played 60 matches out of which 30% were won by them. If they start winning all the next matches after how many matches will the average winning rate be 50% ?
Recent Answer : Added by Suman On 2021-10-07 15:41:23:

Matches played: 60.
Matches won: 30% of 60 => (60*(30/100)) = 18 matches.
Iterative approach:
On adding 1 to matches played and matches won, on every iteration until the win percentage gets to 50. So
19 / 61 = 0.3114754098360656
20 / 62 = 0.3225806451612903
21 / 63 = 0.3333333333333333
22 / 64 = 0.34375




Similarly,
41 / 83 = 0.4939759036144578
42 / 84 = 0.5

So, after 60th match 24 more matches has to be played and won to get 50% average winning rate.
