Solution:

After analyzing the possibilities, it is obvious that my friend has better chances of winning and his average score will be lower at the end.

Let us assume that we have not completed the sequence yet and understand the possibilities. If the last toss of coin was tails, start with step 1 otherwise start at step 2.

Step 1: If either of us toss the coin to get tails, nothing will change. We both will still be at step one and we both will still be needing three more correct tosses of coin to complete our respective sequences. If we get heads, then we continue.

Step 2: If either of us tosses the coin to get heads, we stay on this very step. If we get tails, we continue.

Step 3a (me): If I tosses the coin to get tails, I will have to go back to the step one again and try till I get heads again. Thus I will need at least 3 more tosses to complete my sequence.

Step 3b (my friend): If my friend tosses the coin to get heads, he will go back to step 2 again and will try till he gets tails. In this scenario, he will need at least 2 more tosses to complete the sequence.

Clearly, he has the better opportunity to win this game.

If you take a look closely, you will acknowledge the fact that every symbol in the given figure is somehow associated with the surrounding one’s position. The upside-down spade is used to the left of a right-side-up heart every time.

Solution:

All Digits [0-9] follow the following pattern: There is one occurrence of all digits in every 10 numbers Example. Digit-9 occurred one time between 10 and 19 in 9, between 20 and 29 in 29
However, for tens(91,92,93...99) and hundreds (900,901.... 999), the occurrence is much more. Since we have included 1000, Therefor 1 is the most occurred digit.
Note: Despite three '0s' in 1000, 0 is not most occurred digit as they don't have tens and hundreds like other digits.

Solution:

Now there can be two solutions to the given situation because there can be two situations:
Suppose if B and C have same colors, A will know that his color is the other one and he will be able to speak up the first.
Now if B and C do not have same colors, A will stay silent. This will tell B that his and C's colors are different. Thus he will speak up first.

So either A or B will speak up first depending on the situation.

Solution:

9

Explanation:
2 < 3 < 5
To find out the required number of candies, take one in place of the least number (i.e. take one mango candy) and then add all the greater numbers (i.e. three strawberry and five pineapple candies) to it.

Required number of balls = 1 + 3 + 5 = 9.

Solution:

74658

* 8 + 6 =14
* 5 - 4 = 1
* 7 = 2*4 - 1
* 4 + 6 = 10
* 7+4+6+5+8 = 30

Solution:

It can be done as shown in the picture below.
