intial values of each player A - 5; B - 93; C - 54; D - 24.REASON 1) 'A' DID NOT LOSE ANY MATCH SO HIS MONEY GETS DOUBLE IN EACH GAME 5 --> 10 --> 20 --> 402) 'B' LOST THE FIRST GAME SO HE GAVE 5 TO A; 46 TO C; 32 TO D;A -->10; C--> 108; D--> 48 AND B--> 10 (TO ARRIVE AT B's VALUE ALWAYS REMEMBER TOTAL DOESN'T CHANGE. SO SUBTRACT A,C,D AMOUNTS WITH TOTAL(176))3) SIMILAR PROCEDURE FOR THE REMAINING TWO ROUNDS.A--> 20 --> 40B--> 20 --> 40C--> 40 --> 80D--> 96 -->16SO ANSWERS AREa) Ab) Bc) 93

The amount after 3 games are A&B having 40,D is having 16&C 80

Game NO A B C D
3 40 40 80 16 (D gives A->20, B->20, C->40 therefore D must have 96 before losing)
2 20 20 40 96 (C gives A->10, B->10, D->48 therefore C must have 108 before losing)
1 10 10 108 48 (B gives A->5, C->54, D->24 therefore B must have 93 before losing)
At Start 5 93 54 24
