Correction and Clarification of Q108 GS2005

Reference: GS paper 2005
Q 108

Sudharkar Tripathi writes
Q108 YES IN 4TH ATTEMPTSO ANS IS (A)INITIAL--10H.0TFIRST ATTEMPT-6H4TSECOND-2H8T(BY REVESING 3H TO T AND 1H TO T)THIRD ATTEMPT-6T4HFOURTH-10T




The Answer should be a, 4 attempts minimum
And not d, Not possible.




The following explanation may confirm that answer is a, 4 attempts.
Q 108

It seems that in 4 attempt it is possible to get all 10 sides of T upside.

The sequence can be as follows:

10H at Start

First Attempt
6 H 4T

Second Attempt
8H 2T
Here
3T change over to 3H making 6H + 3T= 9H and leaving 1T
1H changes to 1T giving 2T and leaving 8H

Third Attempt4H 6T
Here
4H changes to 4T

Fourth attempt
10T

My sequence is different from the sequence as suggested by Sudharkar Tripathi. But it shows that minimum 4 attempts can be used to get 10T. Therefore, Tripathi is right and answer is a, 4 attempts.
