RE: Four Members A,B,C,D are playing a game .A person losing a game should double the amount of others .B,C,D are losing in order after three games .The amount after 3 games are A&B having 40,D is having 16&C 80. Each questions carry one mark:a) who start
 

A's amount gets doubled all three times{when B,C,D LOSE}
 
so A had initially 40/(2x2x2)=5 
[divided by 8 as a's money doubled three times]



B'S money gets doubled two times{when C &D lose},
B had initially  40/(2*2)=10



similarly C's Money get doubled two times(when B &D loses)
C had initially : 80/ (2*2)=20



similarly with d initially : 16/(2*2)=4


Ans:(a) Smallest amt of money : D
        (b) Greatest amount of money: C
        (c) Amount B have: 10
