Q. Four players are playing a game together. They each gain or lose points based on their actions.\newlineAmani gains 5050 points for finding a green mushroom.\newlineAjeet gains 100100 points for completing a level.\newlineDamian loses 100100 points for getting hit by a fireball.\newlineJulius loses 7575 points for stepping on a spike.\newlineWhich two friends had the same amount of change to their scores?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Amani and Ajeet\newline(B) Damian and Julius\newline(C) Amani and Julius\newline(D) Ajeet and Damian
  1. Calculate Amani's point change: Calculate the change in points for Amani. Amani gains 5050 points.
  2. Calculate Ajeet's point change: Calculate the change in points for Ajeet.\newlineAjeet gains 100100 points.
  3. Calculate Damian's point change: Calculate the change in points for Damian.\newlineDamian loses 100100 points, which is a change of −100-100 points.
  4. Calculate Julius's point change: Calculate the change in points for Julius. Julius loses 7575 points, which is a change of −75-75 points.
  5. Compare point changes of friends: Compare the changes in points to find two friends with the same amount of change. Amani has +50+50 points, Ajeet has +100+100 points, Damian has −100-100 points, and Julius has −75-75 points. The only two friends with the same amount of change are Damian and Julius, both of whom have negative changes in their scores.
