10.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
s. 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.
If the gold coin happens to be on top when it,s a player,s turn then the player wins the game.
Initially, the gold coins the third coin from the top. Then
Alice has no winning strategy.
In order to win, Alice,s first move should be a 0-move.
In order to win, Alice,s first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move.
In order to win, Alice,s first move should be a 1-move

13.On planet zorba, a solar blast has melted the ice caps on its equator. 8 years after the ice melts, tiny plantoids called echina start growing on the rocks. echina grows in the form of a circle and the relationship between the diameter of this circle and the age of echina is given by the formula
d = 4 * √ (t - 8) for t ≥ 8
where d represents the diameter in mm and t the number of years since the solar blast.

19.We all know that Aryabhatta is the greatest mathematician who belong to India. When his daughter Mayabati was in her teen age he discovered a problem. At that the time the age of Mayabati is a prime number, let that age is a . After some years her age becomes b. then Arya Bhatta was able to solve that problem wit the help of he daughter Mayabati. If a-b=5 & product of a & b is 26 then what is the sum of two squares?
a-b=5
a*b=26
sum of two squares = a^2 + b^2
formula : (a-b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab
(a-b)^2 + 2ab = a^2 + b^2
5^2 + (2*26) = 77
20.Simple question bt big one on average age.sth like a,b,c weigheted separately 1st a,b,c ,then a& b,then b&c ,then c&a at last abc,the last weight was 167,then what will be the avg weight of the 7 weight?
ans-a+b+c =167 ;
total wt of 7 weighings = a + b + c+ (a+ b) + (b+c) + (c+a) + (a+b+c)
= 4(a+b+c)
so avg of 7 weighs = 167*4/7 = 95.43 approx

21.Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N=40+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
