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.

Solution:

1653

Explanation:
For an ideal case, the batsman will hit a six on each ball. But if he hits six on the last ball of the over, the strike will change in the next over. Thus, the best he can do in the last ball is run 3 runs so that he retains the strike even in the next over. Thus the total runs that he can score in each over:
6 * 5 + 3 = 33
But this will have to go like it only till the 49th over. In the last over, he can hit a six in the last ball as well as that will be the last ball of the match.
Thus runs for the last over will be 6 * 6 = 36.
Hence the maximum runs = 33 * 49 + 36 = 1653

Solution:

Just One!

example
If u get Blue rock with label as "blue+red" => this is red as all labels are wrong.
In this way u can logically solve this puzzle.

Solution:

Think deeply about the door number 56, people will visit it for every divisor it has. So 56 has 1 & 56, 2 & 28, 4 & 14, 7 & 8. So on pass 1, the 1st person will open the door; pass 2, 2nd one will close it; pass 4, open; pass 7, close; pass 8, open; pass 14, close; pass 28, open; pass 56, close.
Thus we can say that the door will just end up back in its original state for each pair of divisor. But what about the cases in which the pair of divisor has analogous number for example door number 16? 16 has the divisors 1 & 16, 2 & 8, 4&4. But 4 is recurrent because 16 is a perfect square, so you will only visit door number 16, on pass 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16… leaving it open at the end. So only perfect square doors will remain open at the end.

Solution:

73

Explanation:
It's a very famous puzzle known as "Josephus Problem Puzzle". It can be solved in various ways but the trick to solve this problem is illustrated below.

Binay number of 100 is: 1100100
complement pf 100 is 0011011, whose decimal equivalent is 27.
The desired answer will be 100 - 27 = 73

Solution:

TIF56

Explanation:
The password is formed as:
T (5th letter of Shruti)
I (5th letter of Arshika)
F(1st letter of Friday)
5(5th day of week)
6(Length of Friday)

Similarly, we will pick the 1st letter for Monday and 3rd letter for Wednesday.

Solution:

Hockey Stick $49.50 & ball $0.50

Solution:

Since each one of them gave one answer wrong, this means that each one of them gave two answers right.

Let us assume that Student A gave a wrong answer to the first question. This will mean that Student B also gave a wrong answer for the first. This will conclude that the rest of the two answers given by them are correct. However, the answers are different and thus it is not possible.

Thus both Student A and Student B must be right with the first question and the answer to the first is two.

If you keep applying the same logic, you will come to a conclusion that following are the correct answers:
Q1. Two
Q2. Three
Q3. Two
