18. Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 9 + 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.
a) 0

19. Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above
the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to
bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in
the stack.Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the
top to a position i below the top coin (0 = i = 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move
implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once
a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. f the
gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game.
nitially, the gold coins the third coin from the top. Then
a) n order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move.
b) n order to win, Alice's first move should be a 0-move.
c) n order to win, Alice's first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move.
d) Alice has no winning strategy.
Ans: d

one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary
coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost

an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on
subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. f the gold coin happens to be
on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. nitially, the gold coin
is the third coin from the top. Then

honey and there must be twice as much honey as herbal. f the perfume contains
sweet, it must also contain anisic, and the amount of anisic must equal the amount of
sweet. honey cannot be used in combination with anisic. anisic cannot be used in

one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary
coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost
coin to another position in the stack. Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn
consists of moving the coin on the top to a position below the top coin (for some
between 0 and 100). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing
nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a
player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. f
the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the
game. nitially, the gold coin is the third coin from the top. Then

Directions for Questions 21-26: Read the passage and answer the questions
that foIIow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
Nature is like business. Business sense dictates that we guard our capital and live
from the interest. Nature's capital is the enormous diversity of living things. Without
it, we cannot feed ourselves, cure ourselves of illness or provide industry with the
raw materials of wealth creation. Professor Edward Wilson, of Harvard University
says, The folly our descendants are least likely to forgive us is the ongoing loss of
genetic and spices diversity. This will take millions of years to correct.
Only 150 plant species have ever been widely cultivated. Yet over 75000 edible
plants are known in the wild. n a hungry world, with a population growing by 90
million each year, so much wasted potential in tragic. Medicines from the wild are
worth around 40 billion dollars a year. Over 5000 species are known to yield
chemical with cancer fighting potential Scientists currently estimate that the total
number of species in the world is between 10-30 million with only around 1.4 million
identified.
The web of life is torn when mankind exploits natural resources in short-sighted
ways. The trade in tropical hardwoods can destroy whole forests to extract just a few
commercially attractive specimens. Bad agricultural practice triaggers 24 billion
tonnes of top soil erosion a year losting the equivalent of 9 million tonnes of grain
output. Cutting this kind of unsuitable exploitation and instituting "sustainable
utilisation will help turn the environmental crisis around.
