In English grammar, conversion is a kind of word formation where a word changes its part of speech without altering the existing spelling or form. Example: to email is converted from the noun (email) and used as verb in a sentence.

If a win carries an award of Rs. 150 and a loss carries of Rs. 100, what is the largest difference in prize money earned among the four?

We get the following table of earnings:

Persons

Win Total

Average

P

36 * 150 + 14 * 100 = 6800

136

Q

34 * 150 + 21 * 100 = 7200

131

R

23 * 150 + 36 * 100 = 6850

116

S

30 * 150 + 30 * 100 = 6000

100

Now we can see that the largest difference

= Maximum – Minimum = Rs. 7500 – Rs. 6800

= Rs. 700
