At a casino in mumbai, there are three tables A, B and C. The payoffs at A is 10:1, at B is 20:1 and at C is 30:1. If a man bets Rs 200 at each table and win at two of the tables, what is the maximum and minimum difference between his earnings can be?

A) Rs.2500 B) Rs.2000
C) Rs.4000 D) None of these

Maximum earning will be only when he will won on the maximum yielding table.

     A ----> 10:1

     B ----> 20:1

     C ----> 30:1

 i.e, he won on B and C but lost on A

 20 x 200 + 30 x 200 -1 x 200 = 9800

 minimum earning will be when he won on  table A and B and lose on that table 3.

 

Therefore, 10 x 200 + 20 x 200 - 1 x 200  =  6000-200 = 5800

Therefore, Difference= 9800 - 5800 = 4000
