Study the information below and answer questions based on it.
Ghosh Babu goes to a casino in Kay-Kay islands where he comes across an interesting game of cards. The visitor playing the game is called the player & the clubman is called the dealer. The rules of the game are as follows : First the player picks the card. This card is called the base card & the number on the face of the card is called the base value of the card. Ace, King, Queen & Jack all have base value of 10. The dealer pays the player same number of rupees as the base value of the card. Now the dealer picks a card & this is called the top card. If top card is of the same suite then the player pays the dealer double the amount of base value. If it is of the same colour but not the same suite then the player pays the dealer the amount of a base value. If it is of different colour then the dealer pays the player the amount of base value. Ghosh Babu plays the game 4 times. First time, he draws 8 of club & the dealer draws jack of club. Second time he draws 10 of hearts & the dealer draws 2 of spade. Third time he draws 6 of diamond & the dealer draws 1 of heart. Finally, Ghosh Babu draws 8 of spade and the dealer draws ace of the spade.

The correct Answer is:
A

By analysing the given information, we get
`{:("No. Of times","Ghosh Babu","Dealer","Profit/Loss to Ghosh Babu"),(1,8,16,"Loss of 8"),(2,10,-10,"Gain of 20"),(3,6,6,"No prift/Loss"),(4,8,16,"Loss of 8"):}`
So, after playing twice, the profit is Rs 12 i.e maximum, Ghosh Babu `overset("starts with")rarr` Rs 8 as minimum.
By analysing the above table, it is clear that maximum profit after playing twice is Rs 12.
