11,5

four parallel lines give 5(min) pieces.

for max,  2nd and 1st line should intersect at P1. 3rd line should intersect 1st and 2nd at P2 and P3, 4 th line should intersect at P4,P5,P6.

logic: Every new line should intersect all the old lines at different points (ie, no three pass through same intersection point).

minimum cuts = No of cuts + 1 i.e 4 + 1 = 5
maximum cuts = Summation of cuts + 1 i.e 1+2+3+4+1=11
