Answer 1

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}Game& Opening& Playe{r}^{\prime }spick& & Deale{r}^{\prime }spick& & Closing\\ & balance& & & & & balance\\ & & Debit& Credit& Debit& Credit& \\ & & (-)& (+)& (-)& (+)& \\ 1& 0& 0& 8& 16& 0& -8\\ 2& -8& 0& 10& 0& 10& 12\\ 3& 12& 0& 6& 6& 0& 12\\ 4& 12& 0& 8& 16& 0& 4\end{array}$

From the above table it is evident that in four games, Ghosh Babu makes a profit of Rs. 4. Hence, if the final amount left with Ghosh Babu is Rs. 100, the initial amount that he had would be Rs. 96.
