For Questions 6-8 :

Small Bazaar, a retail outlet, has planned a discount scheme. It is a 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 all the discounts won so far. The scheme :
Round 1 ------------- > Discount coupons of 2%
Round 2 ------------- > Discount coupons of 4%
Round 3 ------------- > 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, you should have participated in
Round 1 to Round (N-1) (all the rounds before that particular round.)

will get a successive discount of 2% and then 4%. But 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,
