I think its 11 cuts, i cut a ring i can seperate two ring
from the chain ( suppose i cut the second ring in the chain
i get 1st ring and second ring seperated from the chain.)
(1st ring cut and second ring cut , so its easy to seperate
them apart) similarily if i cut 10 rings i will get 20
rings removed from the chain(10 rings un cut and 10 rings
cut) remaining 3 rings together if i cut the middle ring
all three rings get seperated. So, i think 11 cuts would be
the minimum number of cuts needed.

alok and bhanu play the following min-max game. given the expression N=40+X+Y-Z,where X,Y,Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9),Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it.Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X,Y or Z).Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value.Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable.Assuming both play to their optimal strategies,the value of N at the end of the game would be: a)49 b)51 c)31 d)58
