Solution:

It is not as tough as it seems. The strategy is quite simple. You just have to pick up a card out of first three whenever you find a 9 or higher number.

Let us offer you a strong valid reason for the strategy. The probability that the four card kept below are below the number nine is 32*31*30*29 / 52*51*50*49 = 0.133
Thus in such case, you will lose $2 to $9 with equal probability = 0.133/8 = 0.0166

Let us now calculate the probability that one of the four cards is nine or even higher.
1 – 0.133 = 0.867
Now you will surely stop at the first sight of 9 or any value above 9 as per the strategy. Thus you have a chance of winning -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 with an equal probability = 0.867/5 = 0.173

In such case you stand a chance of winning overall amount of 0.14 every game you play.

Let us consider the other strategies. If you want to stop at the sight of 10 or above 10, the expected amount you will win per game will be 0.09 which is way below the present strategy. If you want to stop at above ten only, you will have an expected winning in negative.

Solution:

The 100th statement for sure is incorrect because it says that at least 100 of the statements are incorrect.

Suppose if that is correct, then 100 statements cannot be true.
This suggests that the 100th statement is incorrect and that the first statement is true.

Similarly 99 statements cannot be true because if they were true, then two statements would become correct i.e. the 1st and the 99th.
But the 99th statement says that at least 99 are incorrect.
This suggests that the 99th statement is incorrect and that 2ndone is true.

If we keep analyzing is the same way till the end, we will find out that only the first fifty statements are true and all the remaining ones are incorrect.

Solution:

There is no reason whatever why the customer's original deposit of Rs.100 should equal the total of the balances left after each withdrawal.
The total of withdrawals in the left-hand colum may equal Rs.100, but is is purely coincidence that the total of the right-hand column is close to Rs.100.
Let us show another example, but starting with Rs.200 in the bank:
Withdrawals Balance left
Rs.50 Rs.150
Rs.25 Rs.125
Rs.10 Rs.115
Rs.8 Rs.107
Rs.5 Rs.102
Rs.2 Rs.100
Rs.100 Rs.699
Moral of this story? Don't Total Balances
