the Q may look very lengthy and full of values.
But here we can easily find a solution if we understand the concepts..
three scenarios.
1) if the number rolled times 0.1 is greater than or equal to the players current number, the players current number is incremented by 0.1
2) if the number rolled times 0.1 is less than the player's current number and is odd, the players number is decremented bu 0.1
3) if the number rolled times 0.1 is less than the player's current number and is even, the players number is unaffected...
then there are some %s given...
What can we finally deduct..
THE MAX VALUE...
YES, the max value can be 0.7...
reason:- after a person has got 0.6, there is only one value, which can increase 0.6 and that is by throwing 6..
this will take the value to 0.7 but cannot increase it further as there is no 7 on dice..
so 0.8 is out..
only D is without (i)
ans D
