At a casino in Mumbai, there are 3 tables A, B and C. The payoffs at A is 10 : 1, at B is 20 : 1 and 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. 4000
b) Rs. 4500
c) Rs. 2500
d) Rs. 2000

Answer: a
Explanation: Maximum earning will be only possible when he will won on the maximum yielding table
A → 10 : 1
B → 20 : 1
C → 30 : 1
i.e., he won B and C but lost on A
20 × 200 + 30 × 200 – 1 × 200 = 9800
Minimum earnings will be when he won on table A and B and lose on table 3
10 × 200 + 20 × 200 – 1 × 200 = 5800
Therefore, difference = 9800 – 5800 = Rs. 4000
