Direction for Questions 1 to 5: Read the passage below
and solve the questions based on it.
Patna-mart, sister concern of Wal-mart, is planning to es-
tablish a mechanism to give discount. It is actually a Khul
Ja Simsim kind of game where if you win any round, you
will get some discount specific to that round, and if you
lose, you will be losing all the discounts so far won.
Now, Round 1 is having discount coupons of 2%
Round 2 is having discount coupons of 4%
Round 3 is having discount coupons of 6%
And so on
There are infinite rounds and you can participate in all
the rounds, but you can participate in any round only once,
and before participating in round N (any particular round).
you should have participated in Round 1: Round N-1 (all the
rounds before that particular round.)
All the discounts won will be successive, for example if
you win Round 1 and then Round 2 also, you will get a suc
cessive discount of 2% and then 4%. Bat again as the rule goes
on, if you lose Round 3. you will be losing all the discount
coupons won so far. But despite losing Round 3. you can par
ticipate in round 4 and hence.
