The best way to increase the probability of winning is to place one yellow ball in the first bowl and all the other balls in the second bowl.

Now, you have a 1/2 probability of choosing the bowl with just one yellow ball. If you choose that, you win.

If you choose the other bowl, it has 49 yellow balls and 50 white balls. You still have almost 1/2 probability of picking a yellow ball out of it and winning.

Solution:

Both S and T are of same height because they are the same people.

Suppose that each person is marked with their respective number which also denotes their height.
Now when the longest from each row is called out, they will be 50, 100, 150 ... 500. Shortest among them will be 50 aka S.
When the shortest from each colum is called out, they will be 1, 2, 3, ....50. Longest among them will be 50 aka T.

Thus, they both are same person.

There is a simple logic to solve this question.
The size of the chocolate is 2 x 8. Thus, you need to have 2 x 8 = 16 pieces.
Every time you break the chocolate, you will get one extra piece.
Thus, to get 16 pieces, you must break it (16 - 1) = 15 times.

Solution:

19

Explanation:
The children can purchase 19 chocolates in return.

Out of 77 wrappers, 75 will be used to buy 15 chocolates and two will be left spare.
The 15 chocolates will create 15 empty wrappers that can be exchanged to get three chocolates.
Three chocolates will return three wrappers which will help them buy another chocolate.
Now the wrapper from this chocolate and the two spare that were left earlier will get them another chocolate.
15 + 3 + 1 = 19
